Thanks for that. I've not got the time to take it apart myself right now but it's going in to my local independant on Friday for him to take a look. He'll take the belts off and see what's what. I'll get him to remove the belt and spin up the motor. If it still rattles then it's internal and I'll undo my belt and bend over for the inevitable massive bill.
Here's hoping it's just the tensioner or the water pump.

I'm in the same boat, had a similar rattle, and got hit with worse case scenario, mine was only bad timing tensioner, but the loose timing caused irreparable damage to one of the heads/camshaft. Luckily motor itself was ok. I decided to swap with a newer motor and part out my old motor. I was quoted almost 3,500 just to repair timing, and since there was play in the one camshaft I was advised against just repairing timing. Good luck tomorrow!!! I pray you'll get lucky and it's water pump, or you caught timing issue before any damage was done. Let us know what they diagnose.
