Since my garage changed a number of drive belts including the cam belt, I have had nothing but trouble.
The latest is a noise when the motor is cold. After approx 2 minutes it disappears and for the rest of the day no problems.
Could it be the cam belt is not fitted correctly.

It sounds like one of the drive belts is slipping. This is quite common after work such as cam belt replacement has been carried out.
I doubt it would be the cam belt, it is more likely to be either the air-conditioning, alternator or power steering drive belt which is disconnected as part of the job.
Try turning the air-conditioning off and see if the noise goes away as a way of confirming or eliminating that particular belt.
The garage who carried out the cam belt replacement should re adjust the drive belt tension at no cost to you.
