If its the tappets, they adjust the same as a petrol one do, take the rocker cover off and there they are, but are you sure its tappets and not a diesel knock or somethin else

Its just really tappy, like a petrol engine car goes when there isnt enough oil in it, have checked the oil and put some in (it had some in but was below the minimum) so presumed it to be tappets?  I dont know how to adjust them on a petrol engine either, so a step by step idiots guide would be helpful! lol
