You can hear it Dan, the .bearing whirring sounds a bit like a cheap electric kettle reaching boiling point.
At first I thought it was the water pump or even the power steering belt tensioner as its hard to pinpoint sound, until Gas popped the belt off et voila.
I actually felt it go when travelling at 60 mph on a slight incline, could feel the car sort of surge slightly several times, but then recovered. Later the noise started so limped home watching temp gauge.
Suppose I can live without air con for those 2 hot days we get up here, but it's handy in the winter for demisting.
