Ye its a 1.8, ive been told it could be either of those things thank you! at least i know where to start now. oh sorry going to pick your brains again, do you have any idea as to the cost to get either of these fixed?

Sounds like either a belt slipping (simple fix) or the water pump bearing has gone (simple but more expencive fix).
