Ekrem its a bit hard to tell from your vid but I assume that the fluid in the active suspension reservoir is at the correct level. Theres no mention in your post that this is correct.

Ekrem the suspension dipstick as tucked between the air cleaner & the body. Its hidden a little, looks like a bit of bent wire. If it's low on fluid it squeals loudly. Running it while low will cause pump damage, which is expensive to repair. Give us a bit of history of your car, whats its build number?

Thanks Ekrem, Good to see another 32 getting up & running, hopefully. No, fluid too high wont cause them to squeal. Bit hard to diagnose over the net but it seems like you've isolated the noise to the Suspension/power steering pump. Best not to drive or run the car till you've sorted the problem. As I said earlier damage to the pump can be expensive & difficult to repair. I've got a 32 (310) which has major leaking from the rear struts so I've removed the pump belt (easiest was to cut it!) so I can move it around & not cause further damage. Yes they are difficult to repair & maintain, but in my opinion they are the only soarers worth the effort! You are lucky thar some of your parts have been previously serviced & may not require repair. Both mine, 790 & 310 were untouched original, 790 has had a full suspension rebuild, 310 will require the same. If a 32 is what you want & are prepared to go the journey then a 32 is a rewarding car to drive. Warning, it may not be easy or cheap! No one knows what they are getting themselves into when they buy their first 32! I didn't but now have 2!

Yes it wont hurt to drive with the belt removed but I wouldn't suggest that you drive it on the road, you will also have no power steering. Yes there is a filter in there that requires cleaning there is also a filter in the reservoir, accessible from the rh wheel arch, remove the front inner liner. You will have to drain the active fluid. It takes some cleaning. I carefully disassembled mine for cleaning in solvent & assembled it with urethane. Will post some photos later.

Well done. I'm interested to know exactly which pulley it is. Post a pic when its done. What do you mean by wheel is stuck? Strut is stuck? Up or down?

Hey Tim
When I get some time I'll pull it off and check it out at least ive isolated the issue.
What I mean about the rear not lifting is it lifted before now it sits on the ground even during suspension test doesn't lift rear right only.
Jacked rear up tyre won't rotate prob stick caliper rotates fine driving obv.
With the tyre removed it sits ok when I put it back on it pulls the strut down and it just sits there low as. Seems to slide freely when I push the strut up and when I pull down it stays down.

Sounds like a problem with the valve body more than just the strut. Try extending & locking off strut to see if it holds pressure. My latest 97 does the same on rhf, havn't looked into it yet.
