What engine is fitted?  Cambelts are only on the TDi engines (and maybe the VM?).  Rover V8s have timing chains.

Spray a drop of WD 40 onto the belts if screeching stops its worn/loose belt. If it continues its something else.

VM the 2.5TD in my frontera was gear driven, i think it is the same for other VM's.

i think you would know if you timing belt had failed

Don't tell me, the PAS sometimes feels a bit 'jolty' or goes stiff, the rev counter drops sometimes and the belts are screeching.  Time for a new PAS belt, they are a PITA when they start to slip.

nope only thing ive got it like a sqeeching type of noise from somewhere where the belts are but havnt a clue what it is?

Try putting washinfg up liquid on the belts, if this does not effect it then look at your water pump.
