Its just one thing after another..

 

Car mad a sound as it was tried to tbe started and then after that all that happens is all the dash lights go out and you get a load of wuring sounds from the car. Not like a grinding gear. More electrical interference. It carrys on for a while even with the ignition off.

 

It sounds like the starter motor might be the noise and maybe the solinoid is shorting. the car bumpstarts fine and drove fine (Until the alternator belt through its self. Ill get on to that)

 

So the RAC came out and said the earth has a high resistance and although is a bit better is not great. Could it be just this or is it still gonna be the starter???

 

Second why would a 1 year old belt throw its self? This is the alternator belt. The fan turns fine and does not feel like it has any play and the alternator spins fine. (Need to check play) Is it just unlucky?

 

It would be nice to sort this soon as its a pain not having this on the road.

check the crank pulley and water pump pulleys. change the starter as its easy and go from there if i were you

I fitted an additional earthing kit from http://www.groundingkits.co.uk/ it made an amazing difference to the earth circuit including making lights brighter and sharper gear changes on my autobox. I am sure your car will benefit if earth resistance is high.

 

Hope this helps.

haha no your just going mad lol

Well Im going to look at the original wire and probably replace it fully as it looks corroded down a fair way.

 

But useful to know about that as it looks tidy. Thanks
