Just parked the car up radio (standard orm) on drivers window slightly open. Turned the key off. Locked the car and left it for 10 mins.
Went back to the car unlocked it via the remote. Started the car up the radio came on as it should however the mfd did not display the radio info and the radio was emitting a high pitched constant beep over the radio. Very loud.
No warming lights on the car etc.
I turned the car off the radio stayed on playing but beep stopped. I turned the car on the radio continued but the mfd came on properly and now it is ok again.
Anyone have this happen before? Is it related to my other posts regarding the random beeping and oil light and earth strap.
Have I got more earth problems or some other electrical issue.
The battery is 100% and only 5 months old. It has been tested.
Thanks in advance

Ok so this is where my experience is at its lowest. Is there anything I can do to sort it or do I need a visit to pug?

Check the alternator earth starp connection on the unit itself too.
And reset BSI anyway as said above.

Guys,
I have had a look at my Haynes manual, but there is no mention of an earth strap on the alternator. I believe my alternator is located on the left hand side of the engine under the power steering. I can see one plug going into the alternator but where would the earth be?
Thanks

The alternator is bolted to the engine block which is in turn attached to the gearbox.
The whole lot is earthed as its all attached together.

So the earth on the gearbox that I have changed covers this then. I will try the reboot.
