It's that time again - VIDEO ADDED I need opinions

Car has just gone in for its 4 year service and mot.
After this year I can finally start taking it to a garage of my choice....

Meanwhile I'll sit here and panic till 4pm :lol:

Edit:


Mot passed.
The car developed a strange noise two days ago. Ignore the engine, you can clearly here the noise I'm on about:

If it fails it I'm guessing emissions and balljoints

Well it passed last year but then I took it to my local garage and they said it should have failed on emissions and ball joints haha (either you have a good memory or you're referring to the common issues :lol: )

I gave it a good 40minute thrashing this morning anyway.

I'll claim good memory

Everything's fine, just got it back.

One issue I asked them to look at is two days ago a low rumble sound appeared out of nowhere which you can only here when parked up with the engine on. If you open the bonnet and look directly at the engine, the noise comes from the left where all the belts are. They've said it could be the water pump and I've got to book it in for them to strip it all down. It was only replaced last year :s any thoughts anyone on what it could be? Last time the faulty waterpump made a whirring/whistling sound, this time its a low rumble :s

See first post for video

Could it be a pulley bearing drying out ?

It's going in on Thursday, I'll see what they say. Hopefully it's something simple and not too expensive

If you open the bonnet it doesn't sound healthy at all
