Have an intermittent sound coming from around the pulleys. Haven't been able to work out what it is yet. The sound is intermitent throughout the video.

One of your pulleys is on the way out. You need to work out which one. I have a couple of different ones (new) on the shelf

    I figured it probably was. Guess I'll have to delve into the engine bay this weekend and try and work out which one it is.

    Oh and I never left, I just don't get on the forums as much as I used to. I won't actually "go" until I sell the car.

    That engine sounds like crap!!

    Put a screw driver to each pulley with the other side on your ear to pin point which pulley is making the noise.
