Ok, possible dodgey Head Gasket aside which I haven't had a chance to look into yet. The next issue to rear it's head is I've got a very laboured sounding belt (assuming it's cambelt).
It's odd because the cambelt was new circa 12k ago/8 months ago.
It sounds fine when you first start her up, but then after moving a little it's very loud on tickover. So loud in fact it drowns out all other engine noises.
I've tried some wd40 on the various cogs as this solved a similar problem on my dad's fiesta (same engine) but this doesn't seem to have solved the problem. I've attached some videos that hopefully let you hear the noise.
I know it's difficult without taking a look but does anyone know what the crack with this is?

It's not the bottom pulley starting to fail is it? I had a noise that got louder as the engine warmed up and the pulley was slowly destroying itself!
I haven't looked at or listened to the videos BTW .. so guessing.

Probably bottom pulley on the cambelt, which runs the aux belt.
