I can't say yet, it's supposed to be another 6 weeks before it arrives. On the youtube from carbuyer.co.uk 3.0D review it sounds noisy at idle from the outside. I tried a 2.0D, I didn't notice any diesel rattle from the inside but that doesn't help with your question.....

I'm waiting to find out how the engine feels too in terms of performance! I could test drive one now but I thought I might as well wait until mine arrives.
