Talking On cold mornings....

My scoob squeals like a ferret being raped with a revolving nutmeg grater. What's causing it?

How the hell do you know whata ferret being abused with a nutmeg grinder sounds like

I would check intake hoses for loose connections of hairline cracks that may only leak when the pipe contracts in the cold.

Other thing, mines is bit schreechy when cold i found the alternator bearing was a bit dry and WD40 cured it

stay away from the rodents

Chances are it will be your alternator / steering pump belt.

have you actually checked under the bonnet just to make sure there isn't infact a ferret under there being raped with a nutmeg grinder? or maybe by another ferret?

worth considering, just to make sure.

Most likely cause is the alternator drive belt. If it's loose it sdqueals.

Get it checked or do it yourself before it wears out and snaps.

Mine does the same some mornings! I think it's the alternator bearing too.

Don't want to be pedantic, but a ferret is'nt a rodent, it's a Mustelid!
