Ok just went to my garage to loosen the top mount nuts and it don't seem to be doing it. Not sure if it's coz it's cool now. But I have loosened them both off then done them up again with just one knock of the impact gun instead of a few. It's seems fine now now. But won't no for sure till I drive it for abit and get it all up to temp.

ok it has started up again as soon as the car gets up to temp.
so i took off the top mount nuts on both sides today and its still doing it. but i have noticed the power steering pump is propper whining aswell.
just had a look at the auxilary belts and they as old and flakey so hoping it may just need new belts and i will change the power steering fluid.

how do i get the old fluid out to put new stuff in?
