The old splash 216 is smooth at low revs but can get noisy if pushed - but the old truck just wouldn't be right with a diesel.

I've bought some stuff from (http://www.noisekillergb.com/product_details.asp?ItemID=86) to fit to see if that makes a difference for the longer trips once the spring starts.
