She said she could smell burning rubber and that all the lights on the dash have come on including the engine light, battery, oil pressure (she had only driven the car around 100mtrs). I told her to leave the car where it was and I would have a look later. Anyway, the alternator belt has come off (the smell of burning rubber I guess). I think I should be able to get a new one and fit it but was wondering if the belt drives any other pumps. Namely the oil or water pump . I need to move the car about 2 miles to work on but if the pumps arent working I might be better off getting it towed.Can anyone tell me if there are any problems with driving without this belt bar the obvious of the battery not being charged.
