After having the belts replaced recently, a squeak has appeared at startup. This disappears after a while once the car is warm. Talc and silicon spray solves the problem for a couple of day's but it does return. Any ideas as to cause and permanent cure?

Check for any signs of oil or coolant leaking on to the belt, often this can cause this problem, new belts do tend to streach, ensure that the tensioner is working correctly, my thoughts are probably a worn inefficient tensioner.
