Hey all!! need some advice...my Def TD5 is noisy, sounds like a petrol motor when it needs tappet adjusting. Are the tappets on the TD5 motor adjustable? Could it possibly be that i need a new oil pump? Planned a 5 day weekend and have got just one day to get it sorted so any advice will be great.

Hi Pierre,
Yes the TD5 tappets are adjustable but I gather it's not the same as adjusting more traditional tappets. It might sound obvious - but check your oil level carefully with the car at it's normal running temperature too, could be that. Tappetty sounds can also be a worn rocker shaft.
What makes you think it might be the oil pump?
Cheers,
