But I should say, its been warning me summat is gonna go ping unless I get it fixed for the last 8 months 

In fact TB, at Newent last year, hit the nail on the head, I thought it was something else wrong with it.

Today, screeching noise from engine compartment, immediately followed by only engine noise and battery warning light on.

For the last 8 months the aux belt has been 'bouncing' when idling, not when rev'd.

So....from that, the aux belt must be loose when idling, which suggests a knackered bearing on summat attached to the aux belt....

Competition time.....which bearing failed....  poll added

And when did you have all the bearings fail at the same time, Mr Al 

Ok I'll add another option, just to see if anyone is paying attention

It seems that only Alfa Romeo are reliable.
