Next door neighbour knows nothing about motors, own's same zetec'd focus 74k on the clock.. knocked the door asking me to look at his since it had a funny rattle. Turned out to be the cam/timing belt slapping on the plastic cover! I towed it to his garage of choice to get a new one fitted. Not sure why it came slack.. or how it didn't wreck the engine.
