bucketep91 Posted December 24, 2009 Posted December 24, 2009 went out to go to get some wraping paper and visit some family. Started the car. had the annoying fan belt squeel I've been getting for a few days . then i seen smoke coming from the bonnet scoop and thought shit, in a panic i switched it of and jumped into the back to get my son unstrapped but the tubby timer was still on, then i heard BANG! the misses switched it off, i got my son out and opened the bonnet to find a huge cloud of smoke. shit myself!the fan belt snapped in spectacular fashion! lol the annoying thing is I've got another fanbelt at my dads house i got from geo that i was going to fit 1ce i got a chance. plus my van is parked up at my m8s! stranded on xmas eve with no fucking wrapping paper lol Quote
