Why is my Vauxhall Combo Life's engine making a loud rattling noise?

I recently noticed that my Vauxhall Combo Life's engine is making a loud rattling noise when I accelerate. It seems to be coming from the front of the vehicle. Can someone please tell me what could be causing this and if it's something I should be concerned about?

This could be a sign of a loose or worn out belt in your engine. It's important to get this checked by a mechanic as soon as possible to avoid any further damage.

It's possible that your engine's timing chain is loose or damaged. This can cause a rattling noise and should be addressed by a professional mechanic.

Check your oil levels and see if they're low. A lack of oil can also cause a rattling noise in the engine and should be topped up immediately.
