Bare in mind my VR-4 doesn't go for a run all that often and sits on the driveway most of the time.
When the car is started the alternator belt/pulley makes a consistant dry bearing rubbing sound, it makes no difference in sound or volume when the revs rise and fall.
I'm 95% positive it's the alternator but haven't had chance to make 110% sure of it.
Even on a long run of 200+ miles here 200+ miles there constant, which it has done recently; doesn't seem to shut it up or quieten it a bit. Which I would have thought would have cleared away any rust on the shaft of the pulley.
Anyone else getting this? or think it could be the power steering belt instead as I'm having nightmares about that after Zedy's problem and Dave's recent problem.
I'm sure it's not, but it's worth asking.
Cheers.
