update - especially for our caring James  

retraced a few steps today and eradicated the horrible noise by tightening up bolts holding water pump ( i obviously didnt fully tighten them after putting belt back on) noise now gone......so it wasnt timing related and yes i will be getting it done...

I get mates rates on such things and im sure i will get 80% of the cost back in the sale price of the car ( being able to show reciept of it being done)

Now just got a slight high pitch noise from the same area.....am i going mad or have i heard of the phrase belt whine before.? :-/

Markie... if you can do the oil cooler, then the timing belt is a peice of childs play!!

Do you want me to come and go through a belt change with you?

Once you've seen it done you just can't go wrong
