I am hoping someone can help...........every so often I get a grinding / rattling noise coming from the engine (alternator area) coupled with the alternator light coming on. This is always from a cold start up, it's like a grinding / rattling noise and sometimes a really worrying banging. If you key off and then start up again the problem is gone. This only happens every so often so is not a constant issue. I do not want to purchase both an over run pulley shaft and alternator if only one is faulty (as both parts are expensive). What are your thoughts, has anyone else had this issue?
Thanks in advance..........
