And yeah, reset, see what comes back, take from there

[Webby the Bear]

cheers boys  don't worry I wasn't going to replace anything. I was (as I said before) going to reset and see what comes back as I also don't believe theyre nackered..... if they come back that was the approach I was going to take but not before 

drove it tonight. mil off for most of 20 mile journey. came on 3 times but each time only for a few seconds

changed oil today and fitted new fog lights 

shackeng, looking at the belt spinning it has a slight wobble. I wonder if a pulley is loose

Possible, but that would probably cause a continual squeal. Is it a new pump?

[Webby the Bear]

cheers martin. be over sunday if that's ok

shackeng, no not a new water pump. but I checked it for play and there was none. ill look at all the pully bolts and if theyre all tight ill whip the belt off and check the pulleys for play.

Thats fine mate

If it continues, you may have to whip the aux belt off and start it briefly to eliminate auxiliaries.

Cheers mate. do you mean to make sure it goes away when off so as to narrow it down to the aux belt?

[Webby the Bear]

ps, I trust I can just unhook aux belt from crank and leave everything else lined up (with belt hooked out of the way obviously). then start car?

Take it clear of the CS, and see if the noise is there when you start it briefly. I suspect it wont be, it is most likely one of the aux bearings.
