Engine was just a roar similar to if the fan was on full blast, but it was much louder than that (somewhat similar to a street sweeper!). Nothing on dests to indicate what its been on.

It's got a gearbox problem where it slips gears and bangs into first after it has stopped.
It has difficulty getting out of first gear and is quite slow in first or second, but once it gets going the problems sort themselves out (until you stop again!)
