Well not the old one Bow down
The new model will have 290 odd but yes old one has 256. I think standard V8 is/ was 276? But there lies another story Embarassed 2x TDV6. SE and HSE. Both returned to sender with issues👀
TDV8 Sport HSE...... Gone. Loved it but it didn't love me!!
Now rolling in MY10 Fullfat TDV8 Vogue. Slammed it to go round corners🙈
Cruising daily #56 mph in a Volvo V8. 😱
Lots of other toys in the cupboard...😜

Driven the new 3.0 it's ok but does not have the grunt of the V8 , when pushing on or over taking at say 50 ish then you realise its not a V8 , and fuel returns are really not any better than the v8 at all as you constantly have your foot in to get it to go. 2014 5.0SC AB

Gone 5.0 SC

Got 62 plate SD and am impressed although I really miss the V8. No noise and no real urge. A chipped V6 might be interesting... Do like all the new toys and BT music Bow down but ain't got nothing to hang on to going round corners. Some silly Censored thought it a good idea to remove gear lever and replace with knob Ner Ner
As for V8, they found two split pipes and replaced but still whistling, then removed body and left turbo, to find compressor wheel damaged so foreign body has travelled through induction system even after chemically cleaning everything Whistle
New pipes and inter cooler fitted, another new turbo and body being lowered when I left. Might be Next week for return, here's hoping!!! Yawn 2x TDV6. SE and HSE. Both returned to sender with issues👀

Simon, put the SDV6 in Dynamic mode and sports box and then throw it around a few corners you will be surprised how well it handles and stiffens the vehicle up if you want more fun use the paddles to change gear too.. Thumbs Up It will bring out the boy racer in you. Laughing Have fun.

The car has 3600 miles on it and there is something clonking at the rear Shocked
Tried playing with paddles and nearly put myself out the front screen when it wouldn't change out of 2nd Laughing
Out of interest, is the tv not standard? Has all the options to turn it on but says no stations tuned and won't bring up a channel list?
Other than that all good, Rolling with laughter 2x TDV6. SE and HSE. Both returned to sender with issues👀
