    Well i have found the stupid problem and good news is its nothing serious.

    Harmonic balancer was rubbing on the metal bracket which protects the wiring loom which runs under there.
    Will post a photo up a bit later of it.

    So glad its nothing serious

    Good to see human error for a change instead of Mech. failure

    Good to see you found it.

    Have had the idler pulleys for the serpentine belt squeal with all sort of pitches as they go?

    Leaned in with a syringe fill of grease, eased the needle through the rubber seal on the angle and managed to squirt some fresh grease in which stopped it

    for quite some time, fitted new bearing not long after that before it could come back.

    Cheers

    Steve
