Thank you to everyone who left their advices re my topic.

The dealer (HWM in Walton) sorted the problem by changing the belts, and things seem to be running well at the moment.

It was actually taken there by P1 (where I am a member) and I would like to especially thank them for their help.

If anyone is interested, I have driven a multitude of cars over the last 3 years via P1 and decided to purchase the car I felt was the best overall package - a V8 Vantage. Let's see how things get on in the next few months.

[quote=*CQWhat is more irritating than most of those issues though is wheel 'squeak'. You can only hear it at low speed but definitely something that drives you nuts. I mentioned it at the first service but it still remains although it would appear that the dealer did attempt a cure as for the following 2 weeks I had little puddles of oil. front and rear, on the offending side. The oil has now gone but the squeak remains

Now that you mention it, I have this too! Only happens very occasionally for me, and as you say at basically parking speeds, and you can only really hear it if you have your window down. Still, rather odd.
