Thread: Diesel: V8 or V6. Which one and why?

Hi Chilly,
TDV8 all the way, my TDV8 returns 10.8 l/100 all day every day. No timing belts, goes like a "stabbed rat" if you feel like it. I've had three TDV6's all 2.7's and I have also had one D3 V8 4.4, the 4.4 was an interesting piece of machinery to say the least.
Yeap well aware of the downsides of the RRS, however I like the look of them, they have a presence, Rimini red or Alveston red are my favourite colours I have a white one at the moment, right price, knew the history, wins every time.

Lovely to drive, very comfortable, tows well. Love it to bits...........

Cheers Marty.

Well,

Purchased a V8 Diesel 2008 RRS.

Thanks all for input

Shame the D3/D4s never got the TDV8.

You won't be sorry, very happy with ours especially now has Gordon's rims and D697's to go with the llams and remap. As there are just the 2 of us we don't really need the extra space of a Disco plus love the look of the rrs

There is just me...so should not need the space either. Had a look at your photos....very nice! I agree the Red is the colour to have in the RRS....but Silver it is!!

Hoping to pick up tomorrow. Just got to find out about payment. Hopefully a Bank direct deposit will be acceptable on the day!

I agree, but I assume the thought was it would take too many sales away from Range Rovers (which is probably the case).

Remap? What was your reason for doing this?
