it is a torquey engine to get near the red line in 5th, only really tried to max it out cause of a clear private road and it needed a clear out, it probably will never get to that sort of speed agaain as my turbo sounds like a super charger rather than a turbo, (like the you tube video Click Me) i have just done a oil change after 300 mile from the last oil change
2.3 td lwb died in spectacular style when all liquids in engine bay ended up in the sump....
2.8 tdi lwb sold her and still regret it as she was one hell of a truck
just brought 2.5 tds lwb

He wants to leave the engine ticking over for a minute or two before turning it off as the turbo will not get an oil feed with the engine off and as the turbo is so hot it will burn the oil in it and dry out.
It may still make the noise after ticking over for a bit but not to that extent

Finally finished refurbing all four wheels 
Crappy job .
Then realised the centre caps were in a minging state
Way beyond just a cleanup, so I spent an hour rubbing them all down , then primer/paint etc
