Hi all, my 2010 freelander makes a strange squelching noise when cold, sounds like it's coming from the drivers side at the back of the engine. I can hear it clearly from the drivers side front wheel arch. When it warms up it goes. Any thoughts? Cheers

Does the sound change with engine speed? Road speed? Stationary or moving?

It's only happening when cold, you can't hear it when revving or driving, so noise isn't increasing. Once the cars warm it stops altogether, it's a repetitive squelching sort of noise, strange.

So it makes a noise with engine running but standing still?

Yeah, once warm it stops. I'm assuming it's a drive belt
