Bit of a problem lads. Just a few minutes ago I stopped at the traffic lights in neutral and all of a sudden the revs started jumping up and down for no reason and when I checked the clocks the engine light had come on.
When I put it into gear I had no power whatsoever, 20kmh was the fastest I could get!
So luckily I wasn't far from home so I crawled home.
When I got home I turned her off, waited a few minutes and tried to start it but it wouldn't.
So I left it for 20 minutes and the car started this time. The revs were fine but the engine light was still on.
I then just drove it down the road and back and all seems fine now.
But I am concerned about the engine light staying on.
Now a few days ago I noticed a whining noise coming from the engine and had a look and it appears to be one of the belts at the front of the engine. The noise is not that extreme its not massively noticeable inside the car anyway. I dont know if all this is related but would anyone have any ideas on what I just experienced?
Hopefully its not too expensive because I just renewed my insurance this month
