You won't have a fan belt on your car mate, the fan is electrically driven.

It could be the tensioner on your timing belt or auxillary drive belt.

Can you get someone to look at it for you? if it is the timing belt tensioner gone, i.e the bearings gone, it will make wierd noises like you described, but if it fails completely your engine will be fucked.

It could even be the alternator, very hard to tell unless you are stood next to it.

Best advice is to get someone who knows about engines to have a listen for you.

I would rather lose by a mile because i built my own car, than win by an inch because someone else built it for me.

ok spoted about 5mins ago that the bottome pully is rubbing of the plastic protector thats under it
the engine is mega squint so im guessing one of the mounts are broke or moved? going back out to have a look the now
will this cause the gears to be tighter if the engine is not sitting right??
