Maybe it went to your spam folder. My 1987 defender must be jeep, other- since it certainly isn't a wrangler.

Could the serpentine belt and its automatic belt tensioner need replacement?
Maybe the chirping sound is coming from the belt tensioner compensating for changes in the belt's length/condition due to wear, weather (lots of heat & moisture this summer), or load changes within the system? It seems that the system is designed to apply a constant force on the belt, so maybe strain on the belt is causing the chirping? Any suggestions appreciated. Thx

1. Consult boss lady for permission to use one of her non-flight status brooms for a test.
2. Hold side of broomstick to your ear and touch end to various things like alternator, tensioner, idler pulley center, etc. Sound travels well in a solid, and you will be able to hear engine sounds that are drowned out by the symphony under the hood.
3. Yard sticks, long screw drivers, etc. also work, as does a mechanic's stethoscope.
4. Important thing is that this keeps your face, fingers, and dreadlocks out of the belt pathway, where they can be snatched in an instant.
5. If you dis-mount the belt, after making your own drawing of the route, you can turn things by hand to check for roughness.
Da squeeky wheel has lost da grease. Rovers are designed to accentuate loss of lubrication from all possible sources. However, one possible outcome is a seized pulley, belt thrown, possible radiator damage, and you in traffic with grossly overheated Rover. So that $13 pulley won't seem so expensive then.
