Default WP Fiesta, does this sound like rod knock or something else?

I recently purchased a cheap WP fiesta, everything checked out ok when I bought it but now I've noticed a knocking tapping noise that seems to be worse on a cold start. Just wondering if anyone has any ideas what it is?
Cheers

Not a rod knock. Possibly general cam belt and valve gear noise.
If you compare it to another one of the same vintage it may be very similar.
