It is for the quietest isn't it?

My old Trooper was louder than my Griffith - have a listen, I have taken a vid from the rear, inside and from the front. Honestly, on tick over you can barely hear the engine. It doesn't get much louder when driving it...it just isn't right.

You may have to turn your speakers up ears but you should be able to just make out the car over the noise of me walking on gravel.

Hopefully something shiny is on it's way to me that will help cure my lack of noise problem. It feels like I am driving around in a Mondeo sometimes - I need more volume. My wife likes the fact we can talk normally when driving...me I'm not so sure we need to talk wink

Has anyone got a decimeter they are willing to bring to the Growl as someone else has asked me if we are noise testing.

I don't think there are many left with their original systems now.... it is surprising how quiet an original is.

I hope you will be bringing more than a meter with you!

My wife found a parcel on the doorstep earlier today (luckily I live in a low crime neighbourhood otherwise it wouldn't have been there for long). This should help resolve the noise issue:



Mmmmm, shiny....

Very nice car and the sound is the one thing the LS cannot compete with! But my neighbours much prefer the LS on tick over frown
Always found the LE lights very marmite, first i loved them but now prefer the side cut on the standard Vauxhall units as feel they match the door cuts!
