Was your missus sitting beside you? :P - I generally get a lot of whining when they're in the car for some reason. :lol:

Hope this helps.

Funnily enough - this happened to me when my alternator was on its way out. One way to test this before it fully gives out is to disconnect negative battery lead (black one) when car is running. If car switches off your alternator is on its last legs !

+1 re the other half - normally with me this is accompanied by a pain in my hole ;-)
