I have driven a few, but test drives don't relate to towing and 4x4 usage, thus the reason for asking.
I like the V8 but as most are in HSE's I had ignored them as I figured HSE's to be too exxy for me. But a search does seem to indicate they're not that bad actually price wise.
Get a TVD6 - if you want a snorkel & bullbar you will have trouble getting one unlike the diesel model.
Love my D3 TDV6 SE

If you get a V8, Opposite Lock will fit their bull bar to the V8. I can't see what the difference would be with the snorkels (I have the LRAI fitted) as the air intake is in exactly the same place. From the air intake I assume it's simply a pipe up to the air box. Which I assume is the same for all D3's?

Brougham,
I have had V8 petrol, diesel & turbo diesel 4WD's.
IMHO once you have owned a turbo diesel, you will not go back to a petrol. My opinion is based on towing, cruising and overall driveability.
My suggestion is that you speak with other turbo diesel owners and if all else fails, test drive both petrol & diesel vehicles for a day, if not a weekend.
Cheers, Craig
