Hi, I have the vehicle listed above it is a P Reg. It has been making a screeching noise for a while which I presumed was the fan belt. When it screeched I revved the engine and it stopped. Yesterday on my way home it was screeching constantly then all of a sudden it stopped and it now seems to be fine. My worry is that something may have broken. It still screeches when I put my blower of full. But seems fine, but the temperature gauge seems to be low.

Can you please help?

Many thanks.

Well being that it is not a US market car, I cannot look anything specific up. But I would say to start with checking the belt. Here are a couple of guides to help you get started:

Information about the belt, including checking it: https://www.2carpros.com/articles/how-a-serpentine-belt-works

How to change a belt: https://www.2carpros.com/articles/replace-serpentine-belt

Do that and let us know what you find. We will go from there.
