Hi Dave, This is exactly the issue that I currently have. I've replaced the tensioner and belt and have a loud squeak or squeal coming from the tensioner area. It is loudest when you start up from cold but after ten minutes or so fades. I was thinking that our issue here is the water pump...

On Halfrauds door at 1000 this morning :D All fitted & no leaks now, thanks to you guys DTO & matt1295.

Just reserved at Halfrauds, pick them up in a few hours when they open. Thanks all :)

Okay great thanks chaps. Do you have to ask for a particular diameter of pipe?

Okay I've figured it out, the leak seems to be coming from the pipe between the injector & the pump. I ran the engine & saw it leaking. Just need to wait until LR open on Monday now :/

On reading another thread I think I may have found the issue with my leak but I don't exactly know where to look. Is it possible for someone to post a picture/photo of the 'diesel return hose' for an L series 1999 2.0i so I can sort this out. Thanks chaps.

What small male fitting?

Cheers chaps, baptista it's not engine oil as it's clear & ChrisHughes that's an option worth looking into. Where is the clutch fluid topped up from so I can check the level? Another possibility is the oil seal between the IRD & gearbox from which I gathered from this thread...

What colour is the oil in the IRD, is that clear?

I had a loud knocking when the VCU was shot.

If I'm replacing the VCU am I right in thinking that I undo the front end first & support then the rear end & support. The the VCU bearings & take it out in one piece.

Thanks for the reply Nodge68. Are you saying have I spilt any oil or fluid? If so then no. The last time I topped up the PS fluid was approximately two months ago. As for engine oil, probably six months ago. I'll have a look again as I've jet washed that area to see what happens. All levels...

Are they the power steering fluid cooler pipes?

What are the pipes at the front in the picture? Do they carry a clear fluid?

Thanks Nodge68, the car is a 2.0l 1999 XEDi.
