clatter at start up which goes after warm or rpm = timing chain tensioner.
failure to replace = fecked engine

eg - allow time for the oil to circulate and the noise disappears.
My old Vauxhall used to do this when it was worn...

ok,
get your ear near the crank case as the car starts (cold), if you hear a clatter from that region then its the timing chain tensioner.
suposidly the most common cause of F20c failures.
Vauxhall and clatter so whats new!!!

I think AE had this Hopefully he will be along soon. Mine rattles a bit when cold. I believe its a bit of a Honda trait but they do loosen and I think there is something which can be adjusted.
I'd say mine was 'a bit tappety' but I expect they have been superceded !!
