Driving down the road in my ZX 1.9D, suddenly clouds of blue smoke and smell of rubber. Strange noises from engine, nowhere to pull in. Noises from engine stop after a few seconds and so does smoke. Red light on dash for alternator charging is on, next corner confirms loss of power steering. Decide to continue the mile to home. Parked up and cracked open bonnet. No auxilliary belt, but some small bits of it lying about engine bay and tensioner totally seized. Bollocks. Time for some spannering I think. :-)
