Hi, I recently bought a cheap 2000 Berlingo 1.9D, it runs well but the engine taps away like a sewing machine. I don't believe it's the tappets, I've owned VW diesels with noisy tappets before and it doesn't sound the same.
I've researched the issue on Google and it sounds like it might be the advance solenoid, but I believe these threads refer to vehicles with Lucas injection pumps not Bosch like mine.
It does shudder and rev low after a cold start suggesting it's the advance solenoid if that's some sort of cold start device??

A picture to brighten up a dull thread, it's really straight for a well used 14 year old van.
