Fantastic - thanks for posting this. Our NP occasionally sounds a little tappety - as opposed to diesel knock. I am guessing that it has never been done.

How often are you checking tappet clearances? The service book in the car has 15000 km. I am new to diesels, however I was suprised at the frequency.

You will find the dealers won't check them, it takes to long, once they have been done after 15K they wont alter much and its something that you would need to look at about every 60k. They are a roller rocker design , so they do not change noise levels they are not a "tappet"
