Yea, sounds like something has seized, could even be the tensioner

Okay I shall do that when i can i suppose, the pulley was very hot on the water pump, and the batter light wasn't on, so the alternator probably wasn't turning suggesting that it is the water pump right?
But i shall take them off and take a look. Can i replace just the pulley, or is it wise to replace the whole pump

whole pump. it's not that hard a job BUT sometimes the bolts/studs like to sheer.

Unusual for power steering pump bearing to go as it's lubed by PS fluid.
If it got wet and was a bit loose the belt would slip and wear very quickly but as Rats says you need to remove belts and check all pulleys

Don't go buying anything until you've checked the pulleys.
it's a shame you didn't look at the engine before turning it off as it would've given you the answer.

i wont do don't worry, amount of time ive bought the wrong parts, would have thought ide learnt by now haha.
I was thinking the same thing, unfortunately when it was squealing constantly and smelling of burning crap and i just ran for the ignition :/ Then it didn't do it on the way home, just sounds a bit strange, like a really loud turbo whistle, de pressurizing noise as i come of the throttle. That could be one of me hoses are loose for the turbo where i took them out, but i checked and they seem fine so must be noisy bearing or something.

Today: fitted new anti burst locks on both doors - for the first time in 5 years the passenger door not only locks, but, stays shut without the use of a bungee cord!
Also fitted a shiny new steering wheel
And took down a shed and built a new one
Coming out of the back with a big box in my arms and missed the step
