Default Mk5 ZetecS Tapping Noise

My fiesta zetecs has developed an intermittant tapping noise at idle and on over-run, seems to be from the cambelt cover area... Its done 106k and is well overdue a cambelt, so could it be a tensioner or waterpump etc? Just serviced it 2-3k ago, full service oil/plugs etc...

Cheers

If bottom end it's a new engine. Piece of piss to change though.
