PeteHull		(Thu 15:34 02/Jul/09) could be any number of things, gearbox, clutch waterpump alternator, air con (if fitted) your best bet would be to pop it into a garage and ask them if they can have a look at it. Ask for a quote to put it right and they should tell you what they think it is. My guess is it could be a bearing water pump. Does it go up and down with engine revs or is it constant, could even be a wheel bearing.... guessing isn't good pete

If you approach the problem in stages you will be able to narrow it down before approaching garages, which can cost a fortune.
