    Have you tried running it briefly with the belts off - probably wont help but at least rules out a few things.

    Is it like all the tappets being loose or just one?

    Don't know if it's the same for a diesel, but I had a broken exhaust manifold gasket in my petrol D1 that sounded like a noisy tappet. Hope that helps.

    it sounds just like one. I am going to try replacing the valve stem caps, push rods and spring/spacers on the rocker shaft as two them appear not to have a great deal of tension left in them.
