In your situation, you cannot assume anything -- it would be a good idea to verify valve clearances, etc for yourself. Start by pulling the valve cover and checking valve clearances and cam timing. Adjust both if necessary. Also loosen your timing belt -- it is too tight! I can hear it howling in your video. That is not the cause of your running problems, but it could cause other problems. Reduce the tension a bit . On a cold engine, the belt should have some visible slack. Should not be taut.
On a D24T a while back, I had some strange starting and running issues similar to yours that were traced to a faulty injector that was allowing exhaust to get pushed into it, causing the injection pump to fill up with air. If you are doubly sure that all adjustments of timing, valves, etc are correct, then your next step will be to take the injectors out and have them tested by a reputable diesel injection shop. Plan on a compression test while they are out.
You'll get it figured out!

Thanks for your answer.
I've disconnected the cold start device when i 've set the injection pump.
It was sure loose.
The noise that you can hear is the back plate of the timing belt wich was rubed by the camshaft pulley, i bent it back a bit during the video.
It stopped the noise.
I was careful not to tighten it up.
The belt can make a 1/4 of rotation quite easily on it's own on it's longer part.
You're right about the valves clearances, i cant trust a pro even if it is one
Seen i do all the maintenance on my own engine i must know where i am with it.
Now i have to check all that
Very stange your problem with the injector, i never saw that !
I will remember that.
