Hi there does sound as if it is coming from the cam belt area and looking at the age of the car it is due just now as it is every 6 years or 100000 which ever is first, could be a pulley tensioner or water pump but to be honest I wouldn't drive it until inspected as you could end up requiring a engine rebuild if it fails completly, does the car start ok in the mornings as another issue with these engines is the crankshaft pulley failing, if you get the timing belt done just remember to get the water pump and pulleys etc done and also ask to get the crankshaft pulley done normally costs about an extra 70 pound as these aren't included in a basic timing belt kit and they are prone to snapping.
