Better to squeal a bit than knacker the bearings.
Agreed. But it is a toothed belt and a new belt will be needed soon if it is slipping. It just needs to be tensioned to the right amount. Probably.

A five minute job.

almost certainly a belt slipping

outside bet would be a problem with a pulley

I have a similar issue with the Daimler

only narrowed it down after replacing the alternator

if the sun came out again I'd change the pulley
