"loud noise" perhaps just the injectors, which can sound like that, but its just normal. That or maybe she needs a service...

Do a search, as there was a thread with a recording attached within the last few weeks, but I'd lean towards injectors and nothing to worry about...

Well that's probably a bonus. Always worth checking on the service history. Correct oil and especially the cambelt history.

Well depending on age/use and on who you speak to, then 20,000+ for a change. And i think somewhere around the 100k mark for the waterpump
