    I chose the v8 for many reasons, it averages 12.5L per 100km, starts every time I turn the key and sounds so much better then an oil burner, what it really comes down to is what you like, some people like TD's some like v8's, both have their quirks and both have their own character good luck with what ever you choose!!

    You realise the irony of this statement, as a V8 driver?

    One of the reasons why I'm in the process of replacing it.
    We love our Land Rovers, it's like having children, we are blind to their minor faults. I'm just going down to tuck mine in, and tell it uncle sheerluck didn't mean to be nasty, Bob
