Since my last fleet update the Discovery died at 5am on the way back from the coast, which was helpful, also took the battery out with it.
200 quid got me a new Denso alternator and the biggest capacity battery Tayna sold that fit in the space so not too bad.
Was a twat to replace the alternator, should be a 20 minute job but the Viscous Fan was seized, bent the special spanner for removing it, then bent the locking tool when I used a big 36mm spanner and a dead shot hammer to try budge it.
Finally came off, replaced and all is well.
Then the S60 decided to follow in its footsteps and shit its pants as well. Coming off the A1 onto the Wetherby exit, light were green so doing about 40ish, turned and nothing, steering wheel remained almost straight, anchored on and with both hands on one side of wheel pulling as hard as I could, just made it round the corner, it didn't just lose assistance, it locked up, which was exciting.
Lost all its fluid at some point on the A1, no noises that I'd have expected when running low on fluid etcs, looked at rack and it had blown all fluid out, turned quite freely 1/4 turn either way at speed, was fine all way up A1, but as soon as you try any more lock its not having it.so new rack time.
Thats mondays job if it comes over the weekend.
