   Don't WD40 the belt, tighten it and check it for cracks etc...
   
   But I'd say WD40 the Starter Try to get it inside it if you can

   Just had a proper look had someone start the car and i stood outside to check to see where the noise was coming from it seems to be next to the left of the gearbox (i think) would you still recommend what you said?

   Is that the left looking forwards or sideways, or looking backwards from in front?

    yeap I'll go along with the starter motor. Theres a little whizzy thing on the end of it that engages with the flywheel, it continues to whizz for a moment after starting
