You're been paranoid, sounds similar to mine as well.
You have to think that style of engine is 12 years old now, so it will be noisier than more modern ones.
Studying something doesn't always mean they were good at it. They could have just read from books and put nothing into practise, or they could have been s**t at it in the first place.

What were we listening for?! Sounds like my old HDi, and mine had only covered 30k.
See if you can find another HDi, your not missing anything!

Had a problem with injectors on a 1.4 HDI recently. Fairly basic diagnosis pinpointed that 3 injectors were compensating for 1. Contacted Diesel Jones in Manchester and got a very good price, better than anywhere else and the injector was reconditioned. Sold car 2 months ago and no problems so far!
