As per ***le, the engine has a not very loud squeaky noise to it at the moment. The air con will be off, just sitting with a warm engine and I feel as if the auxiliary belt is the cause however it looks to be in good condition at a glance. Is there anything else I should consider, or should I not worry about it? It was serviced by Honda in February and MOT'd by Honda in May. No advisories relating to the auxiliary belt.

Any advice appreciated as always.

One way to check whether it is the belt or not is to spray a little WD40 onto the belt while the engine is running and the squeaking noise is happening. The noise will temporarily go away if the belt is the problem.
 
Cheers I shall try that.
