Engine rattle

As far as i can remember this engine always rattled considerably so i took it as normal for the rather old engine it is. However a friend remarked it could be that mountings need to be replaced.....i checked the mountings visually and saw no cracks or lose nuts.... Any suggestions/opinions?

Problem solved! I checked again nuts on mountings to see if they were all tight and they were ok. The problem was because the idle speed was too low. I increased the idle speed and it's running much smoother. I also had a problem that the engine occasionally turned off when i pulled the throttle from fast rev to neutral.... The idle flow was too low so i solved that problem as well. Obviously will consume a bit more fuel but being a diesel engine there's not much to worry about! https://youtu.be/vsFJ9RGRusk
