Must be wheels/transmission if as u say "It's only while driving".. Aux belt or any thing engine related would be all the time it's running.

I had a similar problem on mine. It sounded like i had a canary under the bonnet. I replaced the bearing in the tensioner (easy job), tried the penny trick, then the misses took it out and the alternator siezed 50 odd miles away from home. So have a look at that. I was not popular that day....

O the other hand, only one squeak on a D1, you're lucky.

Check the water pump and the alternator, not just the pulleys, idlers and tensioners ...

Changed front 2 ujs seemed to have play but in tacked so battled to fit them to find squeak still present and found few more probs to sort. Rear brake pads have no retainer on n/s so pads loose and scoring disk. Think this is sound! Also found exhaust carbon near turbo and manifold not sure where issue is fully
