I had my power steering belt and alternator belt changed last August as one of them was noisy. Half way around my euro trip in September they got noisy again, and are noisy now. Any ideas, dodgy belt maybe. Cheers in advance

Not a rattle or a squeal ,hard to explain. It shuts up as soon as there is a lubricant sprayed on it

It's adjusted via the power steering pump, but my suspicion now is like Nick mentioned above, in that the belts got an issue, and there's something causing it to wear prematurely. I need to pull it apart again and look closely at it compared to the new belt.

My belt did seem a little loose yesterday when I had a look
