    Default Cutting out?

    I know this is probably a school boy problem,
    but i havent the time to check it atm.
    Well basically the engine makes a slapping noise
    and it cuts out when i brake with clutch in? (battery light comes on,
    then cuts out)
    i am thinking its the alternator belt loose but meh.

    cheers for advance
    Connor

    Could be a vaccuum leak to/from the brake servo. Mine did something similar and needed a new rubber seal where the vaccuum pipe meets the servo.

    Jam something between the brake pedal and the seat, start it in neutral then listen for a hissing sound under the bonnet.
