1: Check tension of current belts to ensure tight enough
2: If the tension is okay then replace belts - easy job but Mitsy belts are dear so check for an unbranded make from a local motor factors
3: If finance don't allow replacement then someone posted about using a wax the other day - will try and find it

Gates, the people who actually manufacture the drive belts for most car manufactureres make a spray on anti squeal belt dressing, and it's SH!T hot... or try Worth Industries they do one as well... ;)
