Toyota Yaris (2004) 1.3L
The battery light lit up midway through our journey today (the driver didnt mention it to me at the time), about 30 minutes later this was accompanied by the hot coolant light (flashing) and finally the engine warning light.
When the last 2 lights appeared, we were pretty much home so the car is now parked up on my road and Ive let the engine cool down. Ive checked the batterys charge and the level of coolant- both seem fine. The engine starts fine and everything appears to be working like normal but the engine warning light and battery light stay lit.
Having had a quick look under the bonnet it looks like one of the belts might have gone, but I know nothing about cars!
From the pictures (https://drive.google.com/drive/folde...1E?usp=sharing) and the description does it look like this is the case?
If so
What belt is this (e.g. fan belt)?
Can I drive it to the closest garage (approximately 1 mile away) to get it fixed or will that cause serious damage?
Roughly how much would you expect to be charged (parts and labour) for it to be fixed?
If not, do you have any other ideas of what the problem could be?
As I said, I know nothing about cars so I apologies if this is a really stupid question, but any help would be really appreciated!
