Mine does the same after replacing tappets and oil pump still only does it when warm. Would like to get to the bottom of it as well. Another members vehicle exactly the same. Will investigate further and report back.Vehicles

I have replaced the EGR valve and the exhaust manifold still got the ticking when hot. Mine only appears to be on one side thou.

A number of people have had issues with cracked crossover pipes after any kind of transmission work. That would fit if it sounds loudest where you say it does.

What fuel do you use? Mine seems to run rougher if I put certain supermarket diesel in, especially Morrisons so maybe try a fill up with some premium BP stuff and see if it sounds any better. Failing that I'd take note of Disco Mikeys advice as he knows these vehicles inside out

Mine is no difference with bp and I replaced my oil pump for a new Citroen one from DIsco Mikey not cured it. I know 3 manuals now that do it. I wonder flywheel will investigate. IVehicles
