Perhaps more likely a PD pump than a tappet?

Change the oil
kick the tyres
That'll be £150 sir

The PD diesels all have hydraulic tappets. It's possible that one may have become disfunctional if oil of the the wrong viscosity has been used. A further cause of "tappet" noise can be wear or possibly maladjustment of the rocker gear for the unit injectors. There is an adjuster screw and locknut on the injector end of each rocker, which needs to be correctly set. Again, oil of the incorrect specification will cause problems here.
Correctly serviced, the PD diesels are very reliable - unfortunately the garage trade don't always appreciate this.
