Sqeaky engine?

[peterward]

Hi all, just a quickie really, but there seems to be a squeaking coming from my engine compartment. It started about a week ago, then after a long run on sunday it went beserk. It only happens on engine idle though, absolutely fine whilst chugging along, so i wondered if it was just a case of new belts?

belts or crank shaft pulley... I suppose...
I have a new set of belts here.. only been on about 200 miles...
£12.50 delivered or a crank shaft pulley in good condition £20 delivered..

Thanks for the offer Tobyjug and the advice. Very much appreciated. Think i might go for the belts first mate. How do we do the deal.

easy test
spay wd on the pullys
then fire her up if it gose quiet is ya pully/ belt
spay one at a time
