Welcome to the Forum

Sounds like something rotating. When were the belts pulleys and tensioners etc last checked/changed if your in there changing stuff do the water pump often forgotten but they dont last forever.

Good luck with the culprit

Thanks for the comments and advice Dave. Z now at local garage to find the problem, waiting their call back. If the fronts pulled for the fix and its not the water pump following your advice will have them switch it out.

cheers
