[quote="DMS"][quote="Sloth"]I start mine and sit in it until the squealing has stopped from the alternator belt

by that time its usually warmed a little, and I can smell the burning rubber of the belt..... nice........
Really need to change that soon...[/quote]
Think that might be a good idea to change the belt Sloth

car will lose its 'personality' and voice then, won't be able to tell me how it hates the cold as much as me
That said, it's that or hear a snap and say bye bye power steering. The alternator belt was the one I changed, my original post was wrong

Good thing really, the PC/AC one is a lot easier to change if I recall.
