I would suggest you take it to a workshop that specializes in imports mate. They would be able to tell you what is happening within a few minutes as they have prob seen this sort of thing before.

No point in replacing something that prob doesn't need to be replaced.

Sounds like the clutch fan is locked and in need of replacement i guess, the howling means its locked....... How much did they quote you for one?

It sounds pretty pricey, if you have the time ring around and get some other quotes just to make sure you are getting the best deal you can
