You have an oil leak, the engine is low on oil, the chain has started rattling as it is'nt getting enough lubrication. Thats my guess, 1.0 12v or 1.2 16v?
Also this should be in the Help zone section mate.

Have you checked the oil, it will probably be low thats why the chain is rattling, What engine is it? The leak will either be the rear main seal or sump gasket. Get the oil checked soon though.

Oh won't be timing chain rattling then. Maybe water pump or something else, would get it looked at. If the water pump is knackered and it breaks then your cambelt will jump off and cause a hell of a lot more damage.

So it has a coolant leak too, i'd suggest you get it checked over. Yes if you run it with no cooland this will cause it to over heat and cause problems.

get it to a garage if your unsure, one that you can trust and get it all checked over before it kills itself
