2006 Toyota Pickup 4 cyl Four Wheel Drive Automatic

i have just purchased a toyota hilux sr5 2006 model twin cab ute it has developed a rattle in the top end when cold when driving off it is not as noticable once warmed up. also a slight hunting when idling.have taken it to a reputable diesel mechanic and as i believe it could be a injector malfunction. i also had a toyota technician do a diagnostic check through the on board computer and found that all the paramerters where within specs. it will also create a rattle intermitently whilst idling.it is more noticable whilst taking off under load even slight load.it is 3ltr turbo intercooled engine engine number 1kd700873 vin no mrofzz29g601534210
