Thanks all!

Wondering if anyone has experienced this and could advise... On investigating why the fan belt had started squeaking, I found that the alternator was only secured to the engine by the adjustment bar, and that the two mounting bolts at the bottom were missing. On deeper inspection, the bolts weren't ...

Brilliant, thank you! We'll give it a go.
and I won't panic.... yet....

The levels are all ok - how do you go about bleeding the system though (my husband may have done this already but not sure if he did it right)?!?

Not ready to tackle replacing interior yet, but has anyone come across this and found any way of...

Brilliant! Glad we're on the right track. Previous owners suggested engine might be dying - any chance it could be this? Hopefully a bit more work and we can plan our first trip! Thanks loads for help.
