Nissan Navara 2008: What is this mysterious ticking noise?

Our 2008 Nissan Navara STX Diesel makes a ticking noise and my hubby is worried that it could be a timing chain. Our Nissan mechanic says it's just the diesel sound and not to worry, but with stories we see we are a bit worried. What could it be?

I'd be inclined to take the advice of your mechanic, but if you are still concerned get the opinion of another mechanic. It should be easy, simply by listening to it, to determine where the noise is coming from, and from that whether it is a timing chain or not.
