Engine metallic tapping / knock

Hi fellow Disco lovers.

Bought a Disco 4 a few months ago. Have noticed a strange rattle / tapping from the front of the engine. It does not rise or lower depending on revs, it also comes and goes warm or cold. Click on my YouTube link for a quick video of the noise. Anyone any ideas?

with the engine running, I'd try and look at the fan blades and if your up to it - I'd try and stop the fan.. might give some pointers...

It sounds like the timing belt about to snap, check it out ASAP. Thumbs Up
It has also had a new top hose fitted recently.
 It can when others can't,
It will when others won't,
It goes where others don't.

Mine does exactly the same. It’s the viscous fan.
