It needs to be replaced every 100,000km I believe - do you know when it was last changed? (N13 Prince motor)
It is not too bad a job and you can buy a kit which includes cam locking tools for about 200.
The chain is held in a cassette so you can just lower it down until the bottom sprocket lines up with the crank.

Only have had this car for 1,5 years, but as far as I know, the timing chain has not been replaced yet. I'm not a mechanic at all, so I'm afraid I have to leave this to the professionals. From checking online this should cost around -1000 euros, so still hoping its something simple
