    There were issues with the older TDV8s lunching the turbos. They've slightly more mid range pickup than the 3 ltr, but there's not a lot in it. Of course they don't sound the same!

    Cheers

    Having had both, while we like the SDV6, we loved the TDV8. It didn't love us though

    Test drove a couple of v6s, plenty of shove. Got lucky on price and ended up with a 2010 TDV8. It's a lovely, addictive beast, especially the sound, but the economy is seriously off the pace of the 6 for not much more actual go...

    Also even less payload in the V8 if that matters to you...

    Hi Gordon. So which model years were the problem ones for turbos? Thanks

    From the UK experience it would seem all of them equally if fitted with the 3.6 ltr V8. So 2005 ~ 2010.

    Cheers,
