Does it not help quite the alternator/air con pump belt.

My allternator pulley was squeeking like mad so they canged my allternator pulley under warranty.

I've got an intermittent rattle and squeak from my R53 from the area of the pulleys. The squeak only happens when I'm pulling away and the rattle under acceleration, so whenever I put my head under the bonnet, it's running perfectly quietly. Probably gave to wait until something completely fails and causes untold amounts of damage.
