Hi, my car seems to have developed a rattle somewhere in the engine.

At idle it sounds a bit like when you get 10p in the washing machine, there is no constant rhythm to it but it does follow idle speed for a few seconds then goes quiet then comes back if that makes sense. Ive had the sump off expecting something in there but it was clear. The car runs fine and there is no unusual smoke from the exhaust.

It seems to be loudest on the cam belt side of the engine, Ive recorded a video with my phone through the wheel arch with the cam belt cover off-

Im hoping someone can help identify what could be making the sound before I do my usual trick of just throwing new parts at it! I've had the car 5 years, it had a cam belt kit about 3 years/25k miles ago but I didn't swap the Water pump, possible culprit?

Cheers!
