Thank you, I am going to get someone to look at it, I looked at oil level , belts and coolant today before taking off for a short cruise, all fine.
my major concern is that I have been planning on going down the Severn and then up the Avon. Not sure wether to give that up as too risky given circumstances.
I am also confused by these alarms, the usual one on starting, would I presume, indicate broken belts, no charging, oil or temp, or is that wrong as I have never heard this buzzing alarm, what does that signify?
The temp gauge is dodgy, but usually a couple of knocks on the screen knocks it back to what you would expect, which I did whilst this buzzer was sounding and it went back to just over starting point as usual.
But after engine cooled for ten minutes it did stay off for ten minutes whilst engine was running before buzzing again, so would that indicate a temperature sensor somewhere else.
I did have the coolant completely changed a couple of years ago, and the level is consistent.
if I get someone out to look at it, what could they tell if there is no problem at the time.?
The usual alarm is inconsistent and I did get a mechanic to look at it, and just by checking the connections it worked straight away till next day.
should I ask them to replace everything?
