The numbers seem ok on the alternator side- if it was my car- I’d be looking at getting a new battery as 11.6v is too low- should be around 12.6v at least. As for the screeching- I’d be checking the belts are on correctly and check it’s not getting wet or something silly 2007 TDV8 Vogue SE

Thanks. I've been ready to replace the battery for a while but it just keeps going..... Also starting to see a few spurious error codes which are another sign of low voltage. Will check the belts in more detail tomorrow when it's dry. 2012 TDV8 Vogue (L322) |

I'd be tempted to change the battery first.
