Started getting a really anoying squeak from some were cant pin point it its around the front sounds like its inside but guessing it out side as it squeaks when driving but as soon as I take foot off accelerator it stops

Does anyone have any ideas or best way to pin point it thanks
 
Gaffa tape a mate to the underside and go for a drive :D

Can you borrow a goPro or similar? plastic tie it to the underside and try nd replicate the sound. Worked for me when trying to diagnose a squeak.

Try to narrow it down as best you can.

*does it happen when you are on or off the power?
*does it happen when you turn a specific direction?
*does it happen in a certain gear?
*does it get worse if you accelerate or brake etc?

Find some quiet road and do some testing and try and replicate the sound, get a mate to ride shotgun with the window open and see if and when you can hear it.

Finding those annoying squeaks is a PITA but there isn't really a recipe for it. You have to try different things.

Good luck.
 
+1 serpentine belt, i had the same problem, turned out to be a loose belt.... i undid the alternator bolts and got a bar in between the alternator and engine and pulled it tight as i did the bolts back up, problem never returned
