 fixed the sunroof, changed air filter, put the spongy thing in the air box, changed drive belt. all ok or so i thought,belt seems to be slipping battery light goes out but obviously not charging as after a jump start engine will run for a couple of mins then die. pretty sure i have fitted belt correctley but there is definately some play in it any thoughts?
