The noise I hear is a kind of whineing noise, akin to an over tight cam
belt, but only occurs at about 800 - 1300 rpm.  The car is not leaking any
coolant.  The most the level has dropped is about 5mm over a month or so in
the tank, and this could probably be attributed to temperature changes.
Noise is definately from front of engine, but is not power stearing pump or
alternator.


Cheers,


Mike
