My BN2 has always made a high pitched whining noise.  Anyway, the other day a 
fellow Healyite mentioned that my car sounds different to the others. Cutting a 
long story short, I traced the whine to the water pump, which incidentally does 
not leak and the cooling is fine. The manual says there is a grease plug. Mine 
doesn't have one [aftermarket replacement?]. What means is there to lubricate 
the pump? I have since tried engine oil, and neither 3 in 1 nor engine oil last 
more than a few minutes before the whine starts up again. I suspect it needs 
grease, how do I get the grease in?
 
Thanks
