Local one did not have any (they are useless anyway)

We live in country here, no bugger is open on a Sunday. (apart from Tesco)

Needs belt kit anyway....

Stick the crank 90 degrees before TDC and take the belt off and then check it for whats causing the noise.

It won't damage the valves releasing it without a lock?

No, at 90 deg before TDC (or after), all 4 pistons are half way up/down the bores and hence well clear of the valves even if fully open.
