I'm actually quite ashamed of the last 12 to 18 months of production of the 25 diesel and I'm ashamed to have been part of it as it was so noisy compared to the older ones, the engine mounts were shockingly bad (Chineses) the NVH package was taken out and replaced with Swiss Cheese!
Slight deviation from topic...

Thanks for confirming that for me...always my 05 TD ZR was so rougher and (in some respects) noiser (compared to the previous one I had) - one of the first things I noticed (don't ask why) was the missing insulation in the wheel arches (wasn't sure if I was imagining it tho!).

Often wondered about puttting it back in (the Mrs wants to keep it), but don't know the extent of the removal?
