On way to Central Day from Bournemouth. Get to junction of M3 and cloud of white smoke from the car. Pull over and the bottom coolant pipe has come off and dumped my fresh (put in yesterday) coolant out!
So being a cossie owner I had 5L of water with me and a small selection of tools. Pipe back on, fill with water and run her up. Fortunately I seem to of got away without damage and off I go again.
All is well until I get to J15A of M1 on A43 and she splutters, so I pull over and stop.
This time it's a flat battery. Have a look and wire has fallen off the back of the alternator! Put it back on and now waiting for recovery to come give me a jump start!
Bad times!
