Read into that what ever you like.

:Rolling: nice AG.

Our V8 D4 doesn't have Brembo's and the brakes are bloody good. Having said that the brakes on the D3 are bloody good as well.

Off topic a bit,did the 3.0l TDV6,520nm, only come with 8 speed box or did the first ones have the 6 speed?

One of my brothers has been looking at them 2nd hand.

The later D4's are TDV6 and SDV6 both are 600nm the KW are different,both 8 speed.
There were early 3.0lts with a 6 speed,they also should be 600nm I expect.Is the 520nm a 2.7????

Pretty sure yours is the 520nm,TDV6;)It replaced the 2.7.
The 2.7 us poorer people have is 440nm

But it does have proper off road boots:D

Only slightly more torque than a Puma,heavier,and lots is lost in the auto,so it would struggle to keep up with one,but don't tell them;)

:wasntme:

I know a young bloke has a Senator dunnydoore.Needed new rotors/pads all round.They are Brembo and 3 to 4 times the cost of normal dunnydoore V8 brakes.Not a happy chappy.

Is that so you can race around and get more jobs done in a day?:p:D

I thought the bigger brakes exceeded Euro requirements, and were for on road performance and more effective terrain response.

The L322 has Brembos but not the flash red ones.
