Almost guaranteed to be the chain, I'm not sure I'd bother trying to cure it in which case.

Timing chains get proper noisy after a bit, changing the oil can make it a little bit better for a short while. Unless you're coming up to 100k miles then don't worry about it as that's when they usually want changing.

they're far from bullet proof, fix one thing on my brothers and something else goes wrong. It's only on 28k as well

The only sensor I needed for my 12v was the AFM but thats only coz the car was standing for 18 months and fooked up the sensor.
