Quite probably, but I'd still be interested in why the design decision was made to go to a single turbo (Cost, space, reliability concerns, unsuitable for any reason in a heavy 4WD, etc?) when the Jag seems devoid of lag and drives almost like a petrol. Or did they know the TDV8 was on it's way and hence not want a more tuned/powerful TDV6 in the D3. It's a lovely engine, and I'm told the chipped ones are stunning, I'm just intrigued why the differences between cars....
