hi ewan
before i start to help can you tell me if your engine is overhead cam as i'm not very familiar with ranault's. regards dj dave.

you can not quiet down engine they are made to be noisy

dear ewan
as i said previously is your engine of the overhead cam type?. also ( an ammendment to last message ) are you exp any way with the mechanics of cars. get back to me with your answers & i'll see if i can help. regards dj dave

you can not quiet an engine donw then what is ready is that i do know cos i work on then

hi jonboy
what about adjusting seriously mal-adjusted valve clearances, replacing timing chains (unless it's belt driven ), noisy belt tensioner pulleys,worn / noisy alternator bearings, poss fan belt / serpentine belt noisy tensioners & so on. i've worked on them as well jon.
what ewan has omitted to give us is adequate info, ie what type of diesel engine he has & whereabouts the noise is around the engine. without this refined info, how can we help, get my drift jonboy, kindest regards dj dave.

dear ewan
give some information regarding your noisy engine so we can help pin point your problem & maybe give you some reasonable solutions. kindest regards dj dave.
