Rather like describing an old common rail diesel engine as sounding
like a "wardrobe falling down the stairs".

I'd have guessed that a better simile might be:

a "wardrobe full of spanners falling down the stairs". :-)

Or the way of describing someone not particularly attractive as having
a "face like a bag of spanners".

In similar vein "couldn't mark her with a hatchet"

Fell out of the ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down.....

Now that one, I'm certain is a Les Dawson quote! :-)
