When you buy the TDV8 as you will do, your sig will change to MilesBetter. It's an automated sig improvement once you are the owner of a TDV8.

and while you're considering whether or not a TDV8 is a "real" V8, I guess you'll have to think whether a Sport is a "real" Range Rover too

TDV8

Sport is a real range rover - because it always was designed as such (dont talk rubbish about the discovery or we will get technical)...unless your saying a disco, freelander arent real land rovers...only defenders of which only maybe only series, possibly not even 90's and 110s are real

TDV8's are of course for the Scrooge - tight - wanabie real v8 owners...designed for the sort of people who are in denial about such things as hair line and age etc serving no real purpose in life, other than a negligible sound improvement (although nothing like the real v

To be a real v8 it has to have petrol, natural sound and the ability to fit (or come with) a supercharger  Mike

that's nice dear, what exactly is an SDV6 then? a wannabe-wannabe?

The SDV6 or remapped TDV6 is exactly what it says...but a v6 petrol isnt really an spot on a v8 anyway - and no one in the SDV6 pretends is anything more than an equal to the TDV8 - but better in ever money saving and environmental respect...treble win.  Mike

complete madness

no one in a TDV8 pretends it's anything other than what it is - the best diesel engine ever to grace the RRS. If I'd wanted the S/C and the 8mpg that my driving style would bring (TDV8 around town = 15mpg), I would have bought one.

best diesel engine in a sport!!!

If best = s t, slow, uneconomical, prehistoric, expensive and makes you look like a tight arse...where do i buy one  Mike

can't reason with you, there we go.

never been interested in what people think about my spending habits/ability, interesting that you are/do. Even more interesting that you rationalise that (to yourself) by buying a V6 diesel

Whatever next, a private plate to disguise the fact your car is.. Shock.. 6 months old!?!  ============

Private reg's are great until you're passed this link:

I'm addicted to looking at how old certain vehicles are!

very British trait, caring what people think about your wealth  ============

I wasnt making a wealth point...funny how its the only thing the prehistoric, slow uneconomical TDV8 drivers pick up on its tight arse because the v8 5.0SC is better but people wont buy one because it costs a lot to run and devalues

Nothing wrong with private plates...certainly makes the cars different, only on some cars do they hide the age - thats not even a statement any more than deliberately not having one is  Mike

2014 Facelift Discovery

yes they certainly are unique

out of interest, in your mind what exactly is a TD/SDV6 owner doing by buying said car (rather than the superior/holy S/C??)

Can't wait to hear this.....

Ive said before - i loved the 4SC and 5SC v8...i cant afford to run them fuel and mileage wise - I liked my free ones...plus running planes is also expensive and i would much rather waste money in aviation than on unleaded when the SDV6 does everything bloody well and has great mpg and meets all criteria and restrictions Mike

2014 Facelift Discovery

and why you previously chose TDV6 rather than a TDV8?

First off the the 2011MY didnt have the TDV8 but even if it did the TDV6 was at least equal to if not better than the TDV8 - again more economical etc the SDv6 is just an improvement to it.

I would support the TDV8 being better (significantly) than a 2.7TDv6 - except maybe running costs where the 2.7 would be cheaper to run possibly - my only 2.7 exposure was in the D3's Mike
