Every week I seem to be doing something on my old S Reg 1.8 petrol Freelander. (I don't know if its a K series or L though)
I have an awful squeak or squeal coming from under the bonnet. Its not the sound that a slipping fan belt makes and I am thinking its the water pump.
Do the bearings of the pump often cause a squeal - The squeal goes faster as I am driving at speed so its pulley / belt related I guess.
Also is it a BIG job to replace the water pump as its quite a cheap part.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Kind regards - Dave
