Wrong colour was delivered by mistake. Long story and I posted on this before so won't rehash the story here. Needless to say I was compensated for the cock-up and didn't mind black too much as a second choice. Driving - TDV8 HSE in Stornaway / Ebony / Brunel
Sold - 56 TDV8 HSE in Java Black EBONY/RHODIUM/PRIVACY GLASS

Hallo PaulB,

Go for it.

But sadly your TDV6 Larini exhaust will not be transferable to a TDV8. I've been there and done that. It requires more money to be spent...........but boy is it worth it TDV6 - gone
TDV8 - gone

Hi Josh,
What is worth it, getting the Larini system modified to fit, or getting the TDV8 in the first place?

I've just spoken to Jonathan and their "chip" upgrade reduces the 0-60 time to a fraction over 7 seconds

Regards,
Paul

Both. But JE told me you can't modify the TDV6 Larini system to fit the TDV8. So you will have to buy the TDV8 version unless something has changed in the last 2 months. TDV6 - gone
TDV8 - gone
