    2007 TDV8 L322

    Is there any compelling reason I should steer clear of one of these?
    Last Thursday SWMBO had our second child and the 2005 Subaru Liberty isn't going to be big enough. I have been looking at TD6 engined L322s, but the V8 diesel has extras that I like (terrain response, etc).

    Congrats on the new arrival Jon. I haven't seen anything on any of the forums I poke around on that suggests there are any real issues with these. The TDV8 is a great engine. If/when I upgrade mine, I would be looking at the same vehicle I think.

    I'll have a good look at the buyers guide on Full Fat to see if there is anything glaring you should be aware of.

    Cheers - Gav.

    Congratulations on the new arrival !

    For the TdV8; just make sure you have the auto's oil flushed and filter changed reguarly around 60k - 80k depending on how it's been used. Otherwise enjoy !!!

    No.

    I love my TD6 to bits, but the only reason I didn't get a 3.6 TDV8 was my bank account, when I purchased mine (for 40k) the cheapest TDV8 was still over 100k. In saying this there is a huge difference between the TD6 and MY07 TDV8. Good mate has one and it is better in nearly every way, a mild retune gives 800nm and with a transmision that can take it.

    I have signed purchase contracts subject to personal inspection so I need to book a flight to Melbourne to pick it up. Lots of money, but it is what I want and I am not getting any younger. Should be plenty of room for the two baby seats.
