Funny squealing noise when starting up

Got a bit of an odd problem when starting up my car when its been left overnight or for a couple of days. I go to start it up and it starts up fine but just after it starts up i hear a funny squealing noise coming from under the bonnet that lasts for about 2-3 seconds then it goes away. Once the car has warmed up you can turn the car on and off and it no longer makes the noise, and for the rest of the day it will be fine but after i leave it overnight it will do it on the first start. The car runs/idles/drives fine and i'm unsure what the problem is - someone suggested to me it might be a powersteering belt or something?!?!At the moment it is not causing any problems its more annoying - i thought i'd see if any of you guys have experienced this before and if so what do i need to check/change etc.

Many Thanks as always

Its definatley one of the belts...My power steering belt started to do this just before it snapped. No big deal, just really heavy steering.

I would reccomoned getting some BELT GRIP, its a spray can, and start the car and just spray some on the belts. See how u go. SHouldnt be a big deal though.

      Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily.

      Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?

      What Duncan said sounds right. Also, it looks like they only have the driver's mat. Not the rest. Because looking at the diagram: KG4911 is just the mat for the driver. KG4900 is the full set if I'm not mistaken and discontinued.   But, it looks like they may still have the full set for the manual S2. Might be worth checking for the other models as well as they seem slightly different. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/epc/nissan-japan/stagea/wgnc34/6649-rb25det/misc/G49 Man, I'm tempted.

      I dunno about that as a blanket statement. Pitwork is Nissan's "Nissan genuine" thing, and for stuff like timing belts, I have found them to be excellent. Of course, for things like oil filters, you always use proper trusted brands anyway, not whatever the OEM has taken to using.

      Ahhhh... If you were putting 12V to the led in there, that's likely made it very unhappy. Chances are how you put power, was 12V across an LED that's meant to only have about 20mA through it at peak, and a forward voltage of about 1.8 to 2.4 volts. That circuit is likely only a 3V3 circuit, and will have a resistor in series with the led too. That's my guesstimate on that light, without having touched one.
