    3.6L TDV8

    Is the 3.6L TDV8 fitted to 2007+ RRS the same specification 3.6L engine as fitted to the Vogue of the same era - ie twin variable geometry turbos, same HP & torque?
    TIA

    Yes, identical.

    Wanted one until I saw the TDV6 was 180Kw and 600NM (versus 200Kw and 640nm).

    Now I want a 4.4TDV8 - damn LR for the constant improvements!!!!

    Ask Sniegy if you really want a 4.4 TDV8. I am very happy so far with the 3.6. Perhaps a little thirsty around town, but that grunt, that noise, who cares?

    Apparently.

    640nm is pretty good. 6 speeds appear to be adequate.

    3.6 TDV8 is the same in the Sport and the Vogue...What a lovely engine!! I miss my Sport..
    Mmm maybe get a new Sport available next June with 4.4! Can dream.

    Should be a real goer with 400kg less weight and I think more power than current 4.4 TDV8

    A brother likes the 3.6 Vogue but their cost for their age is a little high for him. Therefore he's considering a later 3.6 TDV8 RRS if it has the same engine configuration or a 3.0 D4 to tow his medium-sized van. His '86 RRC with a big Chev donk struggles too much for his liking and also he doesn't want to risk it breaking down away from home, being a mix of parts both from other vehicles and home-made.

    its such a shame that the tdv8 wasnt available in the discovery

    its like a silly brand protection thing. lots of manufacturers do it. BMW are the worst at it. abit off topic but imagine the car the m3 would have been with that v10, and simarly the new one with the TTv8. Its like they detune the less expensive model it to be 1 1/10 slower over the 0-100 sprint,
    Nevermind rant over.

    It is seriously bad form to have the cheap vehicles out sprinting the expensive ones.
    But you can always build one yourself if you want it that much.

    Bit off topic maybe but interested if anybody has ever heard of the V8 Diesel fitting in the D3 engine bay ?
    Like mentioned here, would love to hear that engine note, its a beautiful thing and would create a rip roaring off roader and muuuuch better overtaking.
    I assumed the chassis is the same but maybe somebody can put me out of my misery why it cannot happen. Thanks.
