Hi Simon - thanks for that.
I've booked it in for a cambelt change tomorrow anyway, and to see if they can see what is making the noise - which is now very definite at 2000rpm and can also be heard fractionally above idle.
Its a 'ringing/jingling' sound - someone else suggested like wine glasses clinking as they vibrate in a box, which together with the 'jingling' description is quite festive I suppose - although it will no doubt decide to reveal its hand when there's a foot of snow and I'm a hundred miles from home!
Does that sound like YOUR noise? If so, I'll get them to change the pulley if they can't see anything obvious before doing the belt. (mate's garage, not stealership, I hasten to add!)

Neil Sounds the same as my one did . Noise seemed to be only between 2000 and 3000 (My first thoaght was camshaft eg noisy tappets) . (but then again I didnt wait to see if got better or worse) as found a piece of metal in my aux belts which had stripped of from pulley (had it repaired last week). If having the timing belt done might be worth getting pulley replaced . My hdi is still on original timing belt and the pulley let loose at 86,000 , the timing belt on my is changed at 100,000 as per manufactures spec.
2.0 hdi xsara estate been a pain but starting to look like a good buy

HDi festive jingling...
Simon - cheers mate, just been to 'visit' my HDi in the garage - the new belt is on and they've shown me the old crankshaft pulley, which doesn't look that bad but if you manhandle it, can create a metallic clink - I'm convinced this is it cured, once the new one is on. (Getting one tomorrow - £122 plus VAT from Citroen, no doubt cheaper via GSF but Citroen are closer...!) I decided to renew the belt early since I'm a bit dubious about the 100k change interval - that said, the belt looks new at 70k so maybe was overcautious.
Thanks again
Neil

My ZX jingles. When I replaced the cambelt there was slight play in both the belt's tensioner and idler puller. I've always assumed that was where the jingling noise comes from.
Sorry I didn't see this thread earlier - if this is what is what your problem is.
Of course, the bloke who changed your cambelt should have checked the condition of your tensioner and idler pulley when doing the job. If there's play in them, they need changing.
(I didn't change my tensioner and idler because the wear was slight, and I knew the rusty bodyshell would finish the car at MoT time)

Got ya!
Well... found it today!
Its the turbo heatshield, which has fractured at a mounting and is ... 'jingling'!
Simple as that, except they're on back order from Cit and looks like a swine to fit...
But looking on the bright side, we did spot a badly corroded power steering HP pipe
, and that the water pump is now weeping slightly 
...as am I! 
Still, its only money, and once I've spent all that it'll still be worth sod all, so it'll be staying with me, then!
