Ok, this a question about a completely non-standard engine in my 90, but the bit I need advice on is Land-Rover sourced (I think).
The engine is a Lexus 1uz V8. The grooved ancillary belt squeaks like mad until the engine bay is fully up to temperature, then it goes silent.
I have replaced the belt and checked the tensioner which seems fine.
If I spray water into the grooved side of the belt, then the noise disappears immediately, so it's not something mechanical like the steering pump or the alternator.
So I am going to start to replace pulleys, starting with the steering pump pulley, which may well be original (nearly 200k miles old).
In the attached photo, is the pulley (with holes in it) standard LR ? It's approx 14cm diameter.
Thanks,
Pete
