I thought the compressor was driven by the ancillaries belt, and
coupled/decoupled from the input pulley by a solenoid.  In this case I would
assume that if your noise is only present when the a/c is on it's coming
from the compressor rather than the belt.  However I shall try turning the
a/c off and see if the noise goes away.  Thanks for the suggestion.

Perhaps it was.  I seem to remember that it was listed as one of the
standard features of the Cloverleaf in the car price guides, but then
they're not exactly the gospel!
