And it's loud
Sounds like constant grinding. Would it be the water pump on a 1.2 8v?!
It's a hideous noise today haha, could hear it over my music! Coming from the Cam Belt cover.

If its coming from cambelt area its most likely to be water pump mate. Get it looked at ASAP.

Or the alternator. One way to rule that out is to whip the belt off and see if the noise goes away.
