Rattle On Startup

I have been a proud owner of a 2.0 Toyota Avensis GLS (3SFE engine) since 2000. My Avensis has now done 175,000 miles. Had to change the clutch at 165,000 miles. Over the last 4-6 weeks my avensis has started to rattle for the first 5 minutes on starting in the morning. The rattle seems to eminate from the left hand side of the engine, roughly in the area of the alternator. I have listened and felt for the source but cannot pinpoint it. As I said, disappears when the cars been running for five minutes or so, and only reoccurs when the engine has cooled enough.

I thought it could be the timing belt bearings, but wouldn't this happen all of the time?

Anyone help?
