Thanks for everyones help on this forum I managed to change the auxiliary Belt in 30 mins !!
It was much easier than i thought it would be.

Unfortunately it did not solve the squealing noise as I pull away.
The tensioner spring was fine and it spun quite easily.
Could it be the Tensioner bearing making the noise when its under tension?

Or could the problem lie elsewhere?

Please help.

PS
Even though the new Belt did not solve the problem it needed changing as it had lots of bits missing from the grooves.

Does it squeal when just reving the engine or when driving the car ?

It does not screach when reving.
It does a little screach when you pull away in 1st gear.

Is it clutch related? Release bearing maybe..

No I dont think so as its only when you pull away from standing, once I am on the move it stops.
It only screaches for about a second.

it could still be clutch release bearing - or spigot bearing.

How can I find out for sure if this is the problem and Is it something I can fix myself?

try less throttle when setting off. Wheel spinning is such a chav thing to do.

I agree with The Mad Hat Man, I would check the clutch release bearing - or spigot bearing. If you are feeling brave you could jack up ( and support) all 4 wheels and lie underneath whilst someone else 'drives' it and try and hear where the noise is coming from!!!!! Or disconnect the prop shaft and only jack up the front wheels.
