on the way home the engine as gone realy noisey its lost its hdi quietness and it now sounds like a 1.0 ford fiesta pop
Do these engines normaly Go abit noisey when there due for an oil change ?

Bottom pulley's the usual suspect. They do get a bit more 'tappety' once it's getting near oil change time, (from about 10k on), but it's not very noticeable in my experience.

Are the pulley prob's associated with the HDI only, or do they cause prob's with all diesel variants?

HDi's are dual-mass, XUD's are solid.

Strangely its running its usual quiet self today,
Must be just the oil needs changing,
May-be the oil as got too thin
its over 15,000 miles since its been changed,
this poor old thing needs a service me thinks,
