B230T w/150Kmis. When I started the car at work tonight there was a squeal coming from the engine - sounded like a slipping belt, or power steering squeal. I thought it would go away as the engine warmed (27 deg here). It did, but recurred a few times. Before I got home the headlights and instrument panel began to dim. I got home just before they went out completely. I opened the hood w/engine idling expecting a broken alternator belt and frozen alternator, but everything looked OK. After letting the car idle a few minutes I turned the headlights back on and they were bright, as was the panel. I turned the car off and restarted it w/o trouble.

What has happened? I obviously don't have confidence in commuting in this car until I sort this out ...

Thanks.
