Mute point though as I'm not chasing performance

The word you are looking for is 'moot'
However back on topic, the company you mentioned would be my last resort...

Probably have to agree there!!

Oops, a few to many beers mute , moot you got the picture :cool:

From my experience tha last thing most people are after to many beers is ... mute!



... ;)

I was advised to avoid the SDV6 3.0 and go with a TDV6 3.0 because the higher output was causing crankshaft issues.. I am looking at buying a D4, so it is of great interest at the moment...I wouldn't want the new bus to go mute on me..:-)
Anyone have any info on the in-service fail rate of the SD V6, and if it is statistically higher than fail rate of the TDV6 3.0?

I've driven both for a week each. With similar use the SD V6 seems to use more fuel, so if it's economy you're after.....

I always wanted to be able to mute my ex wife, never succeeded, probably why she is an ex :angel:

Now very muted hehehe :wasntme:

I'd love a new SDV6 D4 but the old MY08 TDV6 D3 will suffice. Actually since cleaning both the MAP and MAF sensors it has really got the bit between it's teeth.

Which was your preference? Did you feel disappointed after the SDV6?

No, they are similar. Remember what they are supposed to be, an efficient modern all-purpose 4x4.

I have the old MY10 SE (3.0L, higher output than the 2.7), which I believe (and don't mind being corrected) is the equivalent of the new SD. But I only have the 6 speed auto.

I have test driven the TD (3.0 lower output) with 8 speed gearbox, and around town (I don't tow) it seemed to have great pickup and go - hardly noticeable at all. But once on the highway, with some demands for overtaking, that was when I felt the difference with less pickup and go. Mind you it was totally sufficient, but just noticeable. I suspect that if you tow then it would make even more of a difference.
