Took it for a spin this evening. Did find that after a cold start the squealing begins when I get to around 40mph, but once warm, it doesn't begin until around 50mph. The electrics made no difference - turned the lights on and the fan up to full.

However, I do need to replace the front wheel bearings. Could this be making the squealing? It's definitely coming from the front end.

The bugger is still squealing after I had two belts changed when it went in for an MOT. So I guess it's a misalignment. Is this easy to fix?

Check the crank pulley as they have a rubber damper that deforms. It's the only pulley that can come misaligned because the rest are solid.
