think it could be the timing belt.

If it is the timing belt then its needs to be replaced asap. Not sure if it is

Strangely, it's called the 'alternator belt' smileys/smiley17.gif

also referred to as the 'drivebelt'.

All you need is a new belt and I dont think there too expensive, not hard to fit either. smileys/smiley2.gif
