Slipping fan belt probably. Either that or the water pump bearing or alternator is failing.

What's this going to cost me? Major problems?

This forum was reccomended by a friend

A fan belt can be adjusted for free! It's the black rubber belt thing that turns with the fan and alternator. Buy a Haynes manual and a Halfrauds tool kit to do basic maintenance.

If the water pump is going you'll be looking at about £30'ish depending on m10 or m20 engine. (4 or 6 cylinder)
