When i take my car to 6000rpm, on gear change when i take my foot briefly off the throttle, a loud squeal can be heard. Its always done this. Any ideas?

A squealing noise usually means a worn belt

its approaching 40k miles so the timing belt needs changing for a newer item. The drivebelt runs the alternator right? Is it serious enough to warrant immediate attention?

some ppl say that u can get away with it etc
but in the u still gotta fix it so might as well do it now before it gets worse

i've got the same problem but it happoens when i start her up now aswell the bracket for the alternator that goes behind the timing belt on my 1.4 SRi has a bush that is umm no longer there which causes the alternator to rock slackening the fan belt in the process
