    Was talking to a dealer the other day re Territorys as we were considering them as service vehicles for our techs to replace the crewmans. He said (FWIW)that while a diesel was coming, the LR/Ford TDV6 won't fit in the Territory.

    If that's the case they will probably put the Defender/Ford Transit diesel in don't ya think. and the TdV6 would make the awd Territory as dear as a D3
    Also the TdV6 is built by PSA(Peugeot-Citroen) see here;

    Ford can't build 'em like that

    thanks all .
    I'll certainly listen to everything you guys say .
    Just as a matter of general interest -
    Despite what the french might imply , the diesel engine in the D3 was ( as far as I know ) was created via R & D and Development by a joint venture between PSA and Ford which is why you see it such cars as Jaguar and Land Rover .
    As far as a diesel goes in the Territory , I'm sure you all know that Ford Aust. are going to stop manufacturing the straight 6 4 litre and go to a V6 . I've been told that when the engineers are re- engineering the Territory for the V6petrol engine they will also re - engineer it for the V6 diesel .
    Cheers John

    Ford has running Deisel Territorys at the proving grounds and on the road.

    I haven't seen under the bonnet personally but believe this a version of the TDV6 motor. Our company supplies equipment to the Ford proving grounds and we get the occassional visitor in protypes, including a Territory that rattled.

    Maybe it was actually a rusted out petrol job?


    I'll ask next time.
