....sounds to me like its (the wd40) tracking down to somewhere else.

Start somewhere else and see if you can stop it squeaking...its only trial and error....you'll find it, i'm sure.

Hi.....which way do you think it's out? Are there any tell tale signs on the side of the belt (Chaffing etc)?

Does the auxillary mount look like it's got any cracks in it and are the bolts tight.

I have a 4.0 Discovery 2....used to have a 4.0 38......i would take the fan and belt off and check each pully and belt driven device for wear (Bearings) and to cehck its firmly seated.......let us know how you get on....

Nick.

..i still would heve the belt off, have feel of the bearings, as when not engeged it should be really easy to turn and squeak free. Check that it is secure in its mount and that that has not moved...
