How do you stop it sounding like a bag of spanners and having a 1500rpm powerband? Fraser

How do you stop it sounding like a bag of spanners and having a 1500rpm powerband? Fraser Que? 1500 rpm powerband? The only diesel we ever had was a Volvo V70 & that started orking at app. 12/1300 rpm , with the power tailing off after app. 41/4200 rpm. The autobox always kept it in it's useful range & it didn't sound like anyones bag of spanners, just a bit gruff. Granted my 3-litre V6 Mondeo starts working at 900 rpm & is happy to about 6200 rpm, but it's a petrol engine, has (offically) high emissions & cost's a fortune in road tax. I don't care though, it can still better 30 mpg on a run ( 6-speed manual. so I can use the torque, & I don't bother to rev it unless needed) & is sooo relaxed to drive! DC
