i hope that your car didnt overheat ?

if it did then this may have caused major radiator problem.

No No it didnt

what else could it be

Many Things can cause that!

Alternator might've failed... usually when the belt breaks off that happens but in your case you were able to start again so the serpentine belt must be fine.

if all power dies while car is running the alternator is probably gone.

Thanks Nehmaiz, good guess.

My ride alternator was not working ocassionally, and after that when i came home it never started back so assumed that battery power made it thru.

Changed the alternator and it was all back to normal.

Curious to know, where did u change the alternator? Al nabooda? Did they take ur old one and give u a refurbished one?

They charge so high for a rebuilt alternator then take ur used one and fix it to sell it again... Next time remember u can buy a brand new one off the internet for much cheaper, or have ur current alternator rebuilt.

Cheers

No, i gave car to my brother who lives in Ajman and they have some well experienced garage especial one for BMW, Range Rover and Porsche only in Industrial area 1 opp GMC hospital. I am not sure but i think that guy put refurbished one as it costed me less or closer to 1000 dhs and he kept the faulty one.
