Hi there just looking for a bit of advice. When i pull of from standing i get a strange squeal that sounds like some kind of belt. Doesn't do it if i put more revs on when pulling away. Does the same thing if i put it in too higher gear when going too slowly and accelerate. Anyone had any experience of this? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Sam

Alternator clutch pulley.

@dazza Is this a big job to get fixed price wise?

the pulley is not cheap test it first take the aux belt off, the alternator should free wheel one way.
