Timing chain guides... Immediate guidance needed! PLEASE?!

[Aussie-Q'er]

My Q45 has a rattle in the engine... Timing chain guides? It rattles at startup after sitting for a little while and rattles at about 3500 revs... Should I stop driving it immediately and drive my other car while I order parts in (Ex USA)? Also can I just replace the guides as shown on Q45.org or do I have to replace the chains as well?I don't want to end up paying alot more for parts to fix the heads etc just because I ignored a rattle which is concerning my greatly due to the failure rate of the guides.Another thing, where am I to buy the guides, they sell them on eBay as a chain and guide kit... But, as we all know, it is eBay...Screaming for help in the land down under!

Sorry, desperation leads to ignorance on my behalf.

replace chain and guides together, it is a very big job. I would recommend bringing it to a qualified technician. Unless you have several days and a good book to show yuou how its done.

Once I have all the info I'll be able to do it. I'm a diesel mechanic by trade but I've worked on cars so I'll be able to do it.

Someone said in another post about a 'Joe' bloke doing a parts kit for these? Does anyone know what is in the kit? I.E does it come with front cover seal etc?
