You know, the real nig nig nig, heavy plant machinery sounding diesels.
Say you have £800-1500 to spend on such a vehicle for daily duties and you want it to be the loudest, most obnoxious sound you can get but remain 100% standard and legal?
For that money you could get 2 or 3 Citroen ZX diesels. The XUD9 is a proper old tractor engine Say you have £800-1500 to spend on such a vehicle for daily duties and you want it to be the loudest, most obnoxious sound you can get but remain 100% standard and legal?
Montego estate is pretty obnoxious.
Actually, the Pug 106 1.5d is pretty bad too. At a previous workplace, the farmer who rented a nearby field used to bring the feed to his cows on his tractor. When my workmate who owned a 106 drove down the driveway to our factory which was next to the field, the cows followed his car.

I have to admit I'm not sure how a racist diesel engine would go down...On a serious note, a BMW 3/525 td/s? They sound pretty agricultural at idle and up to about 3000 rpm.
ETA: Actually my old Passat TDI sounded extremely agricultural, weirdly part of the appeal actually, and had a lovely turbo whistle as well. That or the turbo was broken...

Bad neighbours?
Not where I live, but the buggers who poured glue over my car the other day while I was at work. Don't think I'll park a nice car there any longer and instead turn up at 5am and sit and wait for an hour with the engine running in a beat up, scruffy looking diesel banger. Each and every weekday morning and maybe the odd Sunday too!300bhp/ton said:

1.9D N/A 306 - decat downpipe job done Say you have £800-1500 to spend on such a vehicle for daily duties and you want it to be the loudest, most obnoxious sound you can get but remain 100% standard and legal?
EDIT: Didn't see the "standard" requirement - sorry!
It might not be the out and out loudest but it is pretty loud and offensive!

troen ZX diesel every morning on my walk to the DLR - I can vouch for its noise + to add insult to injury every morning she pips the horn to say goodbye to her husband as well.

My next door neighbour used to own a 1999 Escort TD ... Dear Lord in the winter that thing could wake the dead!
good call, I had one, truly horrific piece of engineering....whole car rattled from the roughness of the engine....and although it says "turbo" the performance will make you believe its not working!Gassing Station | General Gassing | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
