If the Air con is working it's probably the idler. If it is get a new belt on and start using the air con.
Sure as hell way to goose a compressor, don't use it for long periods.

gords:
I had the idler thingy (and belt) replaced on mine last year (it fell off actually :shock: ), don't remember it costing a lot..

ChrisW:
If it is the idler you can pick up a "repair kit" off ebay for a tenner - new bearing and circlip and jobs a good'un  :wink:

A new tensioner is in the region of £50+

had annoying squeak on mine, typical as i just brought it and it didn't start until a couple of days after purchase. Anyhow, it sounds like it is the water pump on mine, only did it when cold, but it has now started making a rattling sound when warm.

i really shouldnt bother buying moters  :oops:

Water pump cheap enough, and look easy enough to fit, but any recommendations in Northampton area who will fit, i don't want to start causing more problems yet :lol:

hobbit:
Have a good check round before commiting to a pump there are a lot of pulleys to play up, try a squirt of wd40 or the equivalent behind one pulley at a time with the engine off naturally (careful of the fan belt though), and see if it goes away, it wont cure it but it will tell you which one you are looking at, also have a pull on the pulleys from side to side for any movement, especially water pump and alternator
