What problems can be caused by a faulty Timing Belt?

Engine makes ticking sound

When idling the engine sounds like its ticking inside. The ticking noise is sometimes louder, often just after starting up it's louder. The ticking sound increases in frequency when the accelerator is pressed down to increase engine revs.

Check Engine warning light showing on dashboard

The dashboard warning light showing on this page (or one very similar, sometimes a slightly different shape or colour) has appeared on the dashboard and doesn't go off when the car is running.
