P38A diesel auto screaches at me

Hi All,
I'm sorry I haven't responded sooner but had to wait for a new air con drive belt to arrive - old one seriously cracked and polished.
Well, you lads are great and much appreciated - you diagnosed the issue - even with my mixed up symptoms.
I worked out the problems as this - The battery was a bit flat so jump started P38 but connections weren't great on the batteries and it took a few goes to start it and I suspect it may have put it in to limp mode and therefore lacking power towing up hill. So separate issue from the screaching. Have put on the new drive belt and checked the tensioner pulley - OK and now quiet! Must admit I'm a bit deaf and was having problems determining where the screach was coming from - well my wife says I'm deaf so that's the end of any argument!
Thanks so much for your help.
