Hi chaps, should be a quick one (hopefully). Just started the V8V and noticed a squeaky belt. confused Starts off very loud then softens as it warms up. Anything to worry about or can I wait until next service (Feb). Thinking tensioner or something like that? Thanks in advance.....

We used to get the same problem on Mk1 Discos solved for a while by belt dressing, Google "Rocol 34295 Belt Dressing Spray 300ml"

Chaps, disregard, I've found the previous posts n this topic, looks like a service bulletin was issued on this and as the cars still under warranty, I'll get it done in Feb. thanks for those that posted a response....and for those that didn't, well, get stuffed! smile
