Holden On For Dear Life

Hi all,
Not particularly mechanically minded but hopefully my post won't seem too blonde I just bought a 2nd hand 2004 model VZ commodore this week. The engine is making a noisy rattling sound. Sounds more like there's a diesel motor under the hood. It has 121000k's on the clock. Most of the services were done according to the log book but not all. Last one was recorded at 103000. Car still drives fine and sound isn't present when first started until you drive it for a lil bit so I guess the sound happens once the motor is warm. When the sound starts, I park and turn the engine off then back on again and the sound is gone until I begin to drive the car again. The check oil light also comes on randomly. Dipstick reads that oil is full. I bought the car from a dealership with extended 3 yr warranty so it won't cost me but I do hope it's repairable as I really like the car. Any ideas on what it might be? Cheers
