bearing noise
I've noticed a noisy bearing type noise from under the bonnet and I reckon it's the air con pump. Can I just cut the belt that runs it or is that a bit low tech? If not what's involved in removing it? Cheers for any info lads.

Sorry for late reply,
Are you just cutting it off to rule out the noise? Yes the ac belt is only for it so yes can remove, in fact you can remove the whole thing if you wanted (most do for weight saving lol)
But be careful of the gases out of the ac pipes when if you remove the motor, but for now yes just unplug the ac there are 2 plugs on the alternator loom, that might be better than cutting belt to find out it's not it making noise.

was it your air con ? i had similar noise which turned out to be coming from my power steering, the ps resevoir appeared full but several lock to locks with the ps cap off and air bubbles came out and dropped the level, topped it up did more locks to locks and topped up again and sound went away.
