usually on cold days, straight after i start the engine i can hear a constant loud high pitched screeching sound from around the Alternator area?

it only lasts 2-3minutes and then is fine!!
i had the cambelt, alternator belt and the tensioner pulley for the alternator belt replaced 8 months ago???

hmm i dont know what you mean by "tighten it up" is it a bolt or screw that needs tightening?
i will have a look at it soon

i thought it might be somthing worse than just loose belt???
like the alternator busted or loose bearing inside it or somthing???

you undo the bolt at the top at the alternator push the alternator back and tighten it up while pushing it back a bit

might aswell get a new belt aswell only cost a couple of quid
