No worries and thanks all for the positivity!
Checked my service book and the belts were replaced in Feb 11 on 38k miles so don't think it will be anything related. The aux belt and kit was replaced again after this and the belt from a quick visual inspection looked fine.
Have a feeling it...
It's covered 98k to date, I don't wish to 'name and shame' on here but I trust my garage who fitted the belts and the car has covered ample mileage since they were last replaced, therefore ruling out any poor workmanship!
Belts done 2/3 years ago or so and had 'all' tensioners / pulleys for both the cambelt and the aux belt using all genuine Renault parts (i'll check all my receipts tonight).
The level was above the minimum line and topped up to just below the maximum line but unsure why this would cause any...
I'll see what I can do, don't really want to run it if I can help it until it's relayed to my local Renault expert.
The noise is not apparent on idle but more so when the car is revved, I have a gut feeling it will he internal but here's hoping!
Had a very low pitched 'whistle' between 2 and 3k revs for the last 24 hours and filled the car with oil this afternoon. On driving back to work (fairly low revs) the car decided to make a noise, continue driving (just) and now sounds rough as nails.

Faults like this are so much cheaper to diagnose yourself by replacing the common items first and using a process of elimination. Would only recommend a specialist in a case like this as most 'run of the mill' garages do not seem to have a clue!
Right not had any lights on the dash since the fault with the MAP sensor.
Only thing I would say is the engine is on the noisy side and the exhaust seems to sound slightly 'odd'.
Any ideas?
Have a nasty feeling I have a valve issue but that is only a gut instinct.
Thanks
