I cant really help you with a garage but I can say what has helped similar generally noisy diesels in my care. A dose of wynns hydraulic lifter treatment and checking the belt tensioner rubber. Its a common issue as they age, particularly diesels. I can dig out a youtube vid to show you how to diagnose if you need. Or search youtube for 'kentronix tensioner' it should come up. |

I dont have it to hand but I remember posting it on the forum a while back, should be around somewhere. Its a pretty easy swap on the diesels from what I remember. |

Only other thing that I have experienced is sticking lifter. Changing the lifters on diesel models is a bit of hassle, so I went for lifter treatment and it worked well. |
