Default High pitch noise coming from motor

Hello everyone,
I own a 2016 xe rsport 25t . I started the engine up yesterday and could here a bit of a squeeling noise coming from the engine . The noise was continuous and did not get any louder when you accelerated.
Has anyone had this problem, or know what it probably could be ?
Also does anyone have any suggestions where I can this fixed or looked at , as I live in North Brisbane? Could I take it to somewhere like MyCar , as scared of getting ripped of at a specialist repairer .
Many thanks.

Two places that I can recommend:

1. Classic & Prestige Auto Services (Geebung)
2. The Independent Jag Workshop (Sandgate)

So....did you find out what caused the squealing noise? It's not nice to ask for assistance and then leave everyone hanging. My best guess is a loose or worn fanbelt or possibly a flux capacitor that needs replacing.

I thought the original logic that you are going to get ripped off by workshops with actual marque expertise, diagnostic aids and specialist tools was a bit odd. My experience has been the reverse. They usually hone it on what is really going on quickly and are well connected for parts. Not to mention good advice.
