Drip some water on the drive belts, it should stop.
Sounds like the belts for deffo to me.

 

Will give it a try :awesomework

If it is, any ideas for a permanent fix?

 

Replace the belt... Permanent fix til it does it again lol.
Rubber ages very quickly under the bonnet, it may just be a case of adjustment if they've stretched but it sounds more like a manky belt to me.

 

New set of belts it is then!

Cheers Biggi! :bow

:+1 agree with Biggi :thumbleft:
Otherwise a bit of 'belt dressing' would've sorted it but only 'old farts' like me and Biggi know what that is :wink:

 

Ohhh I like the sound of belt dressing! Never seen it before though!

Think I need to find an 'Old Fart' near me! :lol: :lol:

Dont suppose either of you know roughly how much the drive belts should be before I go to the stealers? Dont want to get :wedgie

 

Nooooooo!!!! Don't buy from stealers if ya can help it.
Go to a reputable motor factors, get decent aftermarket belts which are actually the same as car manufacturers use but without their name on them lol.
Do try the drip test first though to ensure its not pulley bearings . Belt dressing is superb but not sure of its availability to the public. Generally used on farm/engineering machinery. If ya can get some it'll help keep your new belts soft an grippy.
