quote: right okay, is it worth getting the garage to look at the reverse light switch, theres a knackered corsa on the drive of next door, the overall car is tatty unused an a shed for storage, maybe the engine bay is okay and maybe he'll let me have the switch. anyone got a pic of where it is in the bay? | |

the screeching is the alternator belt, mine used to do it, you can tighten it but its a fairly easy job to just put a new one on, take it to a garage for what they will charge it isnt worth getting dirty, the belt is only about 3 quid | |

ah cheers. Im a bit stuck as regards to sorting both problems. I currently 200 miles from home at University, all my tools & scrap yards that im aware of are a bloody long way away. Being a student I cant really afford to visit a garage can I judging by what they usually charge? | |

there might not be a fan belt but there will be an alternator belt and that might be your noise. | |

quote: cheers for the heads up. what's the deal with the thrust bearing /release bearing? is it easy to remedy? when it starts to do it, if I rev the engine I can make it stop. its really loud outside the car, really embarrassing. [Edited on 01-12-2007 by Hoddo] | |

The quealing sounds more like the thrust bearing /release bearing in the clutch as there isn't a fan belt that im aware off. | |
