Thought it would be the alternator. It is the original one, and has done over 380,000km, and already been repaired/rebuilt at least once in its life.
Could you chuck up a picture of the front so I can compare the pulleys?

All of the ed civic/crx with d15 and d16 and the da9 teg with d16 have a 3 rib belt.
From eg onwards, they have a 4 rib pulley
As trism mentioned its a 3 rib belt. I'll take a pic when I unpack the box its in
I'm now certain it is the alt, it has started whining, car almost sounds supercharged.
yep that is correct
Cheers. Sending PM now.
Should've taken out all the stickers and the concerto badge to make it look much cleaner.
I was thinking about taking off the Honda sticker on the boot, but decided against it. I just think it looks better there. And I did have it for a bit without the Concerto lettering, about 2-3 days, and hated it. I think the chrome lettering breaks up the red of the brake lights, and fake brake light thing.
Me and my mate (in photos, and done most of the work), finally added red and clear to my guard today. Looks brilliant.

Will take some tomorrow monrning guys
Doesnt look bad from the pic. Now the only prob is the new paint is going to stick out from the old. Might need to detail the car to bring the rest up to scratch
And here is the new guard on the car :) very very impressed with it, once I do the bonnet, other guard, roof, boot and doors (above the black trim) it should all look good.
The clear still needs to be sanded with high grit wet and dry (about 1200 or more) but its better to wait a few days to ensure it is fully dry first.
