What D4 to go for?

The D4 also came with the 5.0 naturally aspirated V8 petrol motor, but only with the 6 speed as far as I know. The V8 D4 had all the fruit.

INTer is correct about the D4 SCV6 being uncommon. I had never heard of one before his purchase.

The RRS L494 is another option if big cargo space is not required, with a range of engine options, all with the 8 speed.

Then there’s the RRS L320 or L322 (2006 onward) options, if you like the fruit without the big price tag.

How uncommon?

Well when I trailered it to the Southern LR dealer cause the gear selector froze..the service manager asked me how I'd put a Jag motor in it.

He knew the engine from the Jags in the service workshop but that's all he knew😞

So far as i know about 200 were sold in total..so there are some out there..just need to ask😃

Fuel efficiency is not the only metric to consider when buying a D4.. although atm petrol is waaay cheaper than diesel🙄

But...try finding a SCV6 at a reasonable price...took us a year to get one in Tassie..and I'm pretty sure it was the only one here too 😞

Mmm HSE that's the one I really wanted but prices were waay too high..40 ish k vs 70k plus for the HSE at the time. Luckily mine was optioned up to the max..so almost a HSE spec wise.

Not wrong, too high a price for a 6yo car, it has dropped 2k in the past month, but needs to be around 40ish to get interesting.
