Rattle from engine

Hi All, I have a rattle from the engine on my 2L 16v. Sounds like the timing chain and tensioner. Its worse when cold and revving the engine. This was changed about 50,000 miles ago so you would not think it needs changing again. Its had regular oil and filter changes. AA think its the chain and tensioner too. Anything else it could be and how difficult is the job to undertake.
Cheers Richa

Thank you for the replies. I have been using fully synthetic 0-30 oil for about 4 years. Hopefully I did not contribute to the chains wear, I doubt it. I know the booklet says 5-30 semi synthetic. I have been quite good at regular oil changes. I think. I think I will take things apart first and check to make sure its the chain at fault and then take on this ambitious job.
Cheers Richa
