engine squeak

Whenever I switch the engine off, it emits a moderately loud squeak (can be heard whilst inside the car with all windows shut).

1.2 FIRE engine.

I'm sure I heard this noise on the old Mk1 60SX that I had (same engine) a few years back.

Anyone know what causes that?

Re: engine squeak

I have spotted this too on my GP Sporting 1.9. It is the wiring harness bracket that attaches to the rear of the engine that holds a few cables, this basically flexes and squeaks on startup and turn off. Not found a way to fix it so its going in soon!!!
