Valve clearance maintenance on MY00.

Is checking the valve clearances included within the maintenance schedule on a MY00 UK Turbo 2000? I've noticed that the tappets are quite rattly on my 112000 mile car.

Oil was changed 5 months ago, I bought some oil and a filter yesterday to do a change to see if it quietens down.

IIRC, on the Version 3~4 it is every 60,000 miles for valve clearance check - not sure on your Version 5 but they can be checked and adjusted 'in situ' being outer shim using the Service tool.
