Noticed that recently my 14-plate / 13k miles Elise S has started to squeak on start-up. Once fired up, the first prod of the accelerator squeaks too. My guess is moisture on the pulley / belt as it's over my right shoulder, but it sometimes does it after a run, and the next morning having been in the garage overnight.

Am I being paranoid and this is just something they all do, or should the belt tension get looked at?

Adjustment or change of belt/pulley. Nothing chronic. Cold weather or damp often the cause, even lack of use
