well yesterday I tried to sort the electric whine it had, so i got a new auxillary belt, and boy is that a job to fit!

but the whine still hasnt gone, it seems to be coming from the a/c compressor.

get the kettle out, engine running pour water in the general area of the ac compressor. See if that shuts it up. Listen carefully to sewe if it is that or if its somethign else that gets wet on the way round.

You'll know what I mean when you do it.

And as my centre section fell apart inside, i needed an exhaust quickly and cheaply, so it was a sportex system off of ebay:
