don't know, i am only a preliminary tests. would that be something that doesn't happen ever revolution.
when it started i got out and check under the bonnet. it was happening about once every 2 seconds. I then drove home from work (about 70km) and now it is more frequent.
So rod knock is something not easily fixed?

So assuming it is rod knock. what will happen if i keep driving it. i work 70kms away and i need it for 2 more weeks, then it can do what it likes.
As it seems to be getting worse and more frequent

If it is a rod knock, the motor will either eventually seize, or throw a rod out the side of the block.

you could go on for ages with rod knock, then again you could put a conrod thru the block. But i reckon if you keep the oil up don't drive it to hard you could go on for months maybe even years with abit of rod knock.
Personally i don't think it's rod knock from your description.

if you had a old-skool chain-driven cam it might be a fuked timing chain - but your pic suggests a 1G or better so there's no chain to rattle around.
take to mechanic and get them to listen to it. Being at Pine Rivers, there's heaps of mechanics around that part of the world.
You'll have to host the sound file somewhere and post a link to it - you can't upload attchments into these posts.
if you have internet access you most likely have some kind of web space - chuck the file there.

could be a cam bearing, or a foreign object that got in under your cam covers. I mentioned the cams becuase they rotate half of every crank turn.
But it could be absolutly anything with what info you've provided. The soundclip sounds like a good idea, you can send it to me and i can host it. And give you my opinion.

what motor is it?

Yeah sorry the description is dodgy.
Just went to the mechanic in my lunch break (i work in Ipswich)
He said it is either the water pump has blown its bearing or the cam belt is in trouble.
He grabbed the fan and flapped it around and said it is about to fall off and will probably go through my radiator. The only thing keeping it on is probably the tension on the belts. He gave me 10kms before it will fall off. But i have driven 140kms with it already so i need to make it back home (about 70 kms).

Nah no squeak. just bare rub. it sound worse in the cabin because there isn't the other engine noise. But you can hear the fan thing in the engine bay more

What engine is it?
Just had a simular thing with a 3sge, making what sounded like a buggered camshaft bearing, but turned out to be a screwed water pump (was only 5 months old) and also the idler timing belt tensioner had a worn out noisy bearing.

^ what mr micro machine said 
im going to take mine to my mechanics for a look soon, i cant get any time off!
i seriously think its the water pump.
i think it might be that the water pump bearing is gone, so when you rev it, because it doesnt spin freely, it spins slower than the belt, so, while it is still spinning, its not spinning fast enough, and the belt slips...
if you get what i mean...

from in the cabin you could hear it grinding as if something had no oil and it should have. but like i have said you could grab the fan and move it around. the belt tension is probable holing it is place
