Just after some advice please, upon starting the car from cold I get a squeal/squeak from the engine bay it goes once warm but stays when turning the wheel left or right etc am I right in thinking it's either the fan belt or maybe power steering? How do I rectify it?

Will be 1 of the belts, does the steering wheel judder on full lock.
Takes 5 minutes to do, just adjust the belt

Dan is right it is the belt making them noise. In Poland its a common issue due to the cold winter and high difference between temperatures

Yer mine is same also get judder on full lock can this be adjusted? ?

Dvddan

It can be done done very easy, adjust the alternator so it takes up any slack, you should see a tensioner that you loosen move the alternator slightly then tighten up
Job done

replaced both belts last week power steering/alternator and aircon belts. mine were squeeling and juddering at full lock. when I looked at them the power steering/alternator belt was down to the wire and ready to snap. 15 mins to change both
