Actually I haven't personally changed it but it was replaced when I had it serviced and had the brakes done about 30,000 klms ago. The car has done 126K, and it does it when the air con is on as this is mostly the case for me (its too hot without it). Nothing you could say to me Tom would scare me, I have learnt to expect everything and assume nothing with this car. And I know its getting older and the day is coming when it will have to go, because I, unlike you guys, am not able to fix things myself, I have to rely on men/mechanics who take advantage of my being a female, therefore see me as a target to rip off. But getting back to this noise, if I don't have a fan belt (and I would like to know what I paid for when it was "changed") what could it be? Clutch doesn't slip, it's perfect.
