    First thing to check is the level and condition/age of the engine oil.

        That wants fresh oil and filter for starters.

              its an oil cooled turbo so oil quality is paramount. as i precaution i change mine every 3000 km. get the service pack from milners for a tenner. worth changing the lot for that price. especially as i run on veggy.

                  Mine did exactly the same earlier this month, after going to devon and back. Sounded like a bag of bones on a cold start aswell. Didn't worry too much as i was planning on servicing by the end of the month anyway. Never used any oil up until now and it was fine before i left, but i just dropped it today to change the filter and only 3.5 litres plus what was in the filter in there, oops, here's hoping i done no lasting damage.

                    Hundred percent agree, (on this one). 2000-3000km might be classed as overkill by some peoples standards, but your engine will be all the happier for it.
