		Have a really annoying belt squeal when the car is cold. It usually goes after a few minutes but it's really annoying me. Any idea how I can stop this. It's embarrassing now haha

		Ummmmm. tighten the belt...!! 
	
	
	
bit of a faff as the adjuster has a square hole in it. a 3/8" drive socket fits iirc. Im sure someone more knowledgeable will correct me if i'm wrong.

		Yea unless you're running the auto-adjust system from a Xantia then you just need to tighten the belt up.
