Thread: D3 vs D4

The ad says it also has digital radio, not sure about that. But who knows JLR packed all the options into them as they were so expensive. Not far from you. May be worth a look.

Yep, knowing what i know now, this would def be an option over the D4 3.0. Having said that, i love my D4 and has never let us down and always gotten us home. Cant complain at all, shes now 10yo, 203000km and still looks and goes great. The ducks nuts is a 3.0 SC. Such a shame the D4 did not come with the L322 motor....that would be the ultimate...

Agree with this. Both the knowing what I know now and the fact the the D4 is awesome bit. I looked at the RR's when I bought the D4 but lack of accessories put me off in the end. That RR would be a great car though.

Sure it maybe a nice car,but nothing like a D4.Lots of fruit,complicated, may mean issues.
For same sort of money,you could get a D4,which is larger,newer,and has more accessories available.
And probably just as comfortable,maybe with E diff,and the latest traction control tech.

Anyway,whatever rocks your boat.
Good luck with whatever you end up with.

Yes Paul that's all very sensible....but it's a tdv8 ie not a 'dodgy' variety of diesel engine😁

I agree the 3.6 tdv8 is a little under rated. But I was recommending the Jag 4.2 V8SC, in particular because of its reliability reputation.

SC petrol...even better 😁

Not too bad this one. Running D4 rims is different
