Obviously it's not the same model then as my 1.9d Xsara. I can't differentiate that from a tractor.
Can you hear different cars?

LOL!
You git.
That sort of generic comment is complete tosh, unless you believe a 1996 Ka sounds like a 2005 model.
In short they don't.
*cough* You think so?
That will be very few then. Far too many Ka owners service it once a year, whether it needs it or not.
I'm happy for the myth that once the Endura-E gets to 30,000 miles, it sounds like a bag of nails, to be repeated on and on and on. Our Ka wasn't like this.
DervMan ( snipped-for-privacy@ntlworld.com) gurgled happily, sounding much like they were saying :
They last that long before they fall apart?
It could be that they do the last 10k on the back of a transporter of course ;-)
Sorry - couldn't resist!
Cheers Da.
Oh, I don't think I've noticed one of the more recent KA's. I've never been near one with the engine running. I do know sombody with a fairly new one, so I'll have a listen sometime.
Yeah, maybe not all, but certainly the ones I've noticed. Fiesta's, and Focus'.
Might they have been... er... diesels?
Nooo you'll spoil the wind up... :)
Not if you keep the valve clearances adjusted correctly. I used to have to tighten mine up about once per year.
