First time I brought the Vec home, all one of the neighbour Trained mechanic" lads had to say was not "nice car" or "what spec" but just "rattles badly on start up compared to dad's(petrol)".
Every motorbike he has, he fiddles with, then it runs lumpy, doesn't like starting. You can imagine what it's been like recently, he's had to jumplead it off his dad's car, and, once started, even in -11, revs the t1ts off it.
Just been out to drop my wife's flat tyre off for repair./investigation, he was trying to jump start his bike when I left, still trying when i came back, so when he looked up I commented "my diesel may rattle when it fires up but it always starts"
