Hello!

I can't identify where this screeching from my engine bay is coming from, it only happens when an electric load is put on such as lights etc.

Any ideas?

Any help greatly appreciated.

you cant identify!?

have you actually opened the bonnet to check?

that sounds pretty much like the alternator belt, and easy to spot straight away, probably its slack and needs adjusting
 
Okay thank you, I have lifted the bonnet, however I have several squeeks and am trying to identify them all! :)
 
I have got a cat called landy, he sits in there all day, lives on mice but takes a leak everywhere! or is that the landrover? :)
 
As well as belts it may be alternator bearing running dry[drop of oil down behind alternator fan[not with motor running]Water pump bearing on the way out,grab fan push and pull it there should be very little movement.
