Diesel question!

Well, probably more like the holy grail of diesel questions...

How do I get my Diesel Astra to sound less like a Diesel? I love the MPG I get but in the mornings when it's cold and hasn't been started, it is very noisy and although she works fine, I need her to be quiet! Any suggestions at all?

Damn... oh well I'd have to live with it, it just seems noisy until it's warmed up a bit - I know other diesels are quieter but it may be because mine has 160k on it

I have another question too, does anyone know if the mk 4 Vauxhall Astra bumper differs between petrol and diesel engines? I need another one but not sure if the mounting bolts differ between variants...

THANKS!
