First of all, I am a female and know SQUAT about cars so I am at the mercy of my auto mechanic. Last night while driving home a belt went on my car. It bounced around inside the engine for awhile (I didn't realize what the noise was), then the red (battery) light went on. I managed to get home (about 5 miles) - I'm thinking it was the alternator belt (?). It is at my local mechanic right now - he could tell me anything and since I don't know much more than nothing I am pretty much at his mercy. I gave him the belt since it was still hanging on inside the engine so he could just replace it, but that has not been my luck with auto mechanics. I can't afford to take it to "THE" Saab dealer in my area. Would anyone like to enlighten me so I sound like I know what I am talking about when I get the phone call ("uh....it looks like you're going to need a new engine..."). Thanks, Carole
