It likely to be the idler/tensioner on the serpentine belt, they do Canary impersonations a lot !!

Before spending a money try "the penny trick ". It costs 1p and VERY often cures the noise.

Do a search for penny trick.

it could be the power steering pump on its way out or alternator bearings

i know it's not the alternater cos i got the reciept for a new one that was fitted a fortnight ago so would the p.s pump spin faster with higher revs?

could be a possiblity i did have a leak from it the other day but it was a loose pipe,the motors been stood since xmas and was only every now and then to tow a caravan.

Changing the PS pump is straight forward. You need to disconnect the inlet and outlet pipes and then undo about four or five bolts.

You'll lose some fluid so have some ready to top up. Bleeding it involves turning from one lock to the other and topping the fluid up. There is also a bleed nipple on top of the steering box

Hi Halo, yes, you've found the problem. Now you need one of these:

STC1086 Water Pump and Gasket - 300TDI

Easy to fit, comes with new gasket, just apply a little Blue Hylomar sealant to ensure a good result.

If you do not know the vehicle servicing history then now would be a good time to do the cam belt, either way the 'P' gasket behind the water pump might be a good idea?
