I am told the problem is with the cambelt tensioner - which is pretty irritating as the cambelt and tensioner were only changed 3 months ago by mechanic chap. Have been advised not to drive it until fixed in case cambelt goes...?

An update. Sat in the car this morning after short journey and let engine tick over for five minutes - no noise. Then after a little revving it started, so it seems to only happen when engine is warm. Could this be a problem with the viscous fan?

Wonder if anyone can help. My engine has just started making a weird noise - happens on tickover and increases with revs, but is intermittent. Definitely sounds like it is coming from somewhere around the fan.. Here is a link to a Youtube clip with the noise clearly there...
