More often than not the 4 wire ones are not the right type!

Either way, all wires need to be connected.

Two of the wires will connect to 0V, the other will be for the heater and the last for the sensor.

What are the wire colours of the sensors?

lol, fair, unfortunately id not had chance to to work on the car befor the "other mate" had!!  no idea the colours, dont fancy crawling round in the rain!  rovers arent that bad, seen a few sri's off in a 820 sli!  will look at colours when im at work in the morning!

should of said its a pre facelift, its on a 94 plate, the whine after looking a bit harder is coming from the left bank (as you look from the front). sounds like its from the topleft pulley. sorry i cant explain it better.
