Hydraulic Lash Adjusters (lifters). Could be the timing chain tensioners, the replacement of the old plastic ones will stop startup noise. The o-ring fails on the early ones causing them to bleed down and release tension on the timing chain. $250-$300 in parts, $500+ in labour.

Is it just the 2-5 second rattle on a cold start in the morning? There are a few cases of guys replacing the HLA's at around $45 each from Ford. I would definitely get it seen to by one of our Forum Sponsor experts who have dealt with these beasts before.

it`s not until you put it in gear & put a load on it till you hear the ticking noise then it goes away when the motor warms up! Iv`e tried 0w-30 & 10w-30 but it did`nt make a difference! the oil gets changed every 800km because I do stuff all kms between services, should I try 0w-40 castrol next? or will this make no difference

Could be a good idea to let it warm up for a few minutes before you drive it and give the oil a chance to circulate before you put a load on it...oil pressure?

Maybe, just maybe... you should warm it up, find a secluded area... and do a massive skid to blow out the cobwebs, lol...
