Re: belt noise
probably a belt..... mostly easy to adjust (and obvious), except the Alternator belt which is a bit of a PITA, it's best accessed with a flexible head, flat-ratcheting wrench through an access hole in the driver's front wheel well (you'll have to turn the steering to get the tire and wheel out of the way, and you may need to jack the vehicle up slightly to line the hole up with the adjuster bolt.)

Re: belt noise
Solutions :
Replace belts with OEM and not aftermarket (cold/old belts will loose some of their elasticity and cause the squeaking when cold)
Inspect/replace pulleys and/or waterpump (old pulleys can cause squeaking)
Those two are very common. I'd say very common on most Delica's coming over here that have not had the belts/pulleys changed.
Will cause squeaking in cold/wet weather at startup and low idle.
