MR2 has developed another worrying noise! :(

[Mad Dave]

Took it to garage this morning about that whistling noise i posted about - whistling noise is nothing to worry about, BUT its developed another noise - a kind of faint gurgling noise which he reckons is a bearing!

could be alternator, cambelt tensioner anything really, hes not sure. He also said if the cambelt goes itll knacker the engine - but ive been told that if it goes on this engine it wont, itll just lose drive??

any idea what the gurgling noise is!?!?! im getting very worried about big bills now

Cheers

Cambelt was changed at 60k miles according to the guy who i bought the car from (theres a receipt for it in the history). Its only done 80k now.

It only does it when its warm - apparently its the coolant going back into the tank, apparently its nothing to worry about. I think ill get the coolant changed anyway, its looking a bit brown (should be red).
