Thread: Are TD5's the noisiest diesel engines ever?

I was a passenger in a Rolls Royce Flying Spur was, the only way you knew it was running was by checking the tacho and at the lights, you could hear the ticking of the clock in the centre.

MINE'S NOT NOISY AT ALL

WHATS THAT !?? .... SPEAK UP WILL YA !

WHAT ? i CAN'T HEAR YOU.

HEY ? SPEAK UP WILL YA !!



Kev..

Firstly...missus complaining about the landy.....time for a new missus . Secondly.......what's a woman driving a man's car to start with...next they will be wanting equal rights . These pansies who buy D2's and D3's for the better half to drive around in need their pants pulled down and given a kick up the date . Get em a girls car like an FL2 or a Territory....leave the manly car to the men .

Having come from a V8 D3.....I loved the fact that I can hear the TD5.....gave me a wee woody. I used to stand there with the V8 and people would go " Hey Stevo...is that on ?" . With window's up can hardly heard the good ol rattle. Loud or not I do not know....all I know is I love the sound of it......especially in tunnels ,

Regards

Stevo

Personally i love my TD5 noise, i don't think it's too noisey at all... well it wasn't until I played with the exhaust one arvo......

I agree it is probably one of the loudest stock diesel engines out there.
I took the acoustic cover off the motor a few days ago and there's not that much difference really on the inside either.
You guys rate it as up there with the loudest??

not even close, you are formally invited to come and have a go round the block and onto the highway in fozzy and I'll even put the hi-milers on for you.

Pfft...

Only Stevo could think a disco is a man's car

Come for a ride in my series 111 stage 1 Isuzu. Your eardrums will bleed, and your knuckles start dragging on the ground. Puts a smile on the wife's face at idle though
