So you've been spraying oil onto a rubber belt that by its nature isn't meant to slip.

get a new belt, properly tensioned and, if necessary, some belt dressing.

i did it cos my old gaffer used to do it on his old Range Rover classic and it shuts the squeaking up lol and my mate moaning about the sqeaking was becoming more annoying than the squeaking so i thought **** it squirt some lube on it
