Engine Rattle

[Sabre46]

Ive got a 98 RAv4 2ltr Petrol. Ive started getting a rattle from the right hand side of the engine bay (when sat in the car). It sort of sounds as if there is a loose component on the exhaust but goes away over 1800 revs. Could this be a timing chain issue. The car has done 119k miles. Many thanks.

Had engine rattle when shifting (manual trans) and accelerating between 1500-2000 rpm range. Seemed to be relieved when the clutch was momentarily pumped. Well, had the clutch replaced today due to genuine clutch problems (squealing sounds, friction sounds, etc).
