O yer 
I imagine the squeeling would be the timing belt???
I’m not really in the know with the Diesel block TBH, but when my timing belt’s tensioner was playing up was higher up in the revs and didn’t stop after a few seconds.AppleSei said:
I’d assume it’s a lose alternator belt as it behaves as described. However, if you don’t know when the timing belt (and tensioner) were last changed, it’s probably a good idea to replace. Unlike the FIRE engine it’s not a safe block
.Nice choice of colour by the way

i'd have preferred black like my 1.1 that i got last week tbh.
timing belt, tensioner and fan belt will be changed sunday morning and the squeeling will be the fan belt.
not a problem as i am in the car trade and these 1.7 diesels are easy to work on, this is the 2nd one ive had.
Good lad
One thing I’ve wondered about the Uno Diesel – will it run on Vegetable Oil like Jeremy Clarkson did with an old Volvo ages ago

nice buy, my fiat uno has only done 68000 since 1990 or round about that much
half n half mix should work ok, know a guy who does it with a pug, smells like a chippy though, dont forget you have to tell the govenment and pay a bit of duty on it, (yeah rightLouie Bee said:Good lad

If the fuel pump is Lucas, it is very risky to run on veggie oil - even half/half with the diesel. It will eat through gaskets and glue its inner parts over time
If it is Bosch, it should (supposedly) work safely.
This is the info I gathered here and there over the summer - veggie oil seems to be a hit of 2005 season .
