driving home from the highlands we got as far as dumbarton and a slight cheep apeared when releasing the clutch from 4th to 3rd a few moments later a burning smell of burnt oil,we pulled over and had a coffee,after about 20 mins set off again no cheeping or smell so happy bunnies well till just before j40 on the m6 then thud a large thud and the sound of shrapnel bouncing off the van somewere felt like being a pilot flying through flak then everything died but motor kept running,pulled onto the hard shoulder and no electrics not even hazzards phoned recovery ,young kid turns up! think the van was older than him and after the usual nonsense blurting out of his mouth oh your gearbox is blown etc we proceed home on a low loader anyhow i had a quick look under bonnet at home and discovered the main battery fuse was completely obliterated which makes me think its not the clutch but will check later,has it been known for an alternator to implode
