My mechanic thinks my timing chain is going to break, there is a very loud ticking from the front of the engine under the front cover when the car is started from cold.

Do these need to be replaced periodically or not? More importantly, is it more likley that its the lifter tick rather than my timing chain about to snap?

I would ensure that you have the corrct timing chain tensioer first before you replace the chain.
