Good question, ive changed everything apart from the alternator so assume its that. I cant feel any play in it though

HOORAH!

I wouldn't worry about the smoke at this stage.

Money on alternator or PS pump?

Pull the belt off and run for a short while, it'll put your mind at rest.

Its been whining like that for 2 years!

Power steering? Do i look like a girl?

In my experience the whining noise in a TVR usually comes from the passenger seat......though when I took Ace of Hearts significant other, Mel, around Cadwell Park it turned into a high pitched squeaking noise every time I braked, and every time I didn't brake, in equal proportions.
