Is the pump or a belt, pop the belt and have a feel round the pump itself, noist bearing, loose on the spindle etc

If its the bearing then looks like another pump is needed. they are sealed units and not really able to get into them.

Normally the pumps start leaking though a small hole at the bottom of the bearing shaft when they are going west. have a pull on the pulley to see if/how much free play there is

Also just thining could it be the viscous coupling?

You could always post the write up in the Workshop (http://members.mud-club.com/library/) section of the site, along with any photos you have, and make it available to everyone.  :wink:
