Hello,

Im getting a squeel/sqeek on startup, how do i tighten the belts?

Its the fan belt thats normally the culprit, loosen the pivot bolt on the alternator, then loosen the locking nut on the long threaded bolt. Turn cockwise or anti clockwise to tighten or loosen the belt (which ever way round it is), this will then pully the alternator away from the engine thus tightening the belt. When happy tighten up the locking nut and the alternator pivot bolt.

My rule is when checking a belt if you hold it between thumb and finger at the center of the longest space you can only just rotate belt 90 degrees.

 

This is the method for most cars will check my 300 later if no-one else gets back :)
