Disco 300tdi aux belt squeak!
Range Rover Blues:
£45 is about the going rate now, you have to buy the whole arm. Got to say though, D44 were a tenner cheaper than Paddocks.
mac:
I didn't have a squeal until i fitted a new belt, dressing or WD40 cured it for short periods but in the end i changed it for one of the higher spec belts and got no more squealing.
karlo:
You can change the bearing in the pulley, cheapest place i found was e bay.
Though that didn't cure my problem, then i found out about the penny trick which still squeak's very slightly for a few seconds when first started in a morning but soon goes off.
Praps needs a slightly thicker spacer.
The penny trick Will help you find out if that's the problem though!
wing nut:

drmike:
I had a squeal like yours and changed the bearing in the tensioner but it only worked for a while. Then I changed the arm and so far all is well (6 weeks athat is).
I fear it's bite the bullet and stump up £45. I understand the nylon bush or something wears.
