G'day, I've got a high pitched squeal coming from one of my belts in my diesel gq, only on shut down. I only noticed it when i was waiting for my turbo timer to time out whilst standing beside the engine. Once the engine restarts its gone. The belts are all tight and look in good condition, and its only really started since i got back from fraser island. Any suggestions? Andrew

Andrew, whatever you do don't try using the wire brush on moving belts.... you may never see to drive again!
Take them right off and scrub them with the brush, it's slower but a darn sight safer.
I do this with my Discovery and it cleans the belt for a couple of months so it can be done a few times before replacement is necessary.
