I'd assume the 3dr door is longer.

The squeaking belt is probably the aux belt which spins the alternator and AC compressor etc. I managed to change mine myself. Belt only cost me £10. There's a guide on here somewhere.

Yes the 3 door door is longer than the 5 door front door.

Noises, maybe your battery is past its best and so that noise is just the alternator being given a lot of work to do just after you have started the engine - try switching on the rear window heater and headlights once it has warmed up, does that bring the same noise back?

Other things do include that the auxiliary belt might now have become hard and polished with age - and so causing that noise, or the auxiliary belt tensioner pulley bearings are dried out so noisy at first then quietening down.

To check where noise coming from u can use a long screwdriver and place end on different parts on engine and your ear to handle end. Bit like placing a glass on wall and listening. Easy way to check alternator bearings.

Be worth keeping eye on coolant as could be water pump. Or power steering pump.

Silcone spray on the aux belt for the squeaking
