Lol - you were meant to. I was just pointing out the performance similarities (according to TG anyway) and the fact that the V6 seemed to them to be the better overall choice. I guess if you can't live without the noise and can live with the fuel consumption, then that's a deal breaker. Notably, the later V6s came with the dynamic pack anyway (at least, my Black Edition has...) so handles pretty well for a 2.5 tonne barge.  HSE Black - Orkney Grey, ivory leather, privacy glass, tow bar.

The loan sport I had went well, performance you could live with and as you say, handled well, but........ It lacks the grunt to pull 650 kg trailer, 1350 kg rally car plus spare wheels fuel and tools or my tintent up and down the hills of Devon and Cornwall. My old car performed the same empty or loaded. 2x TDV6. SE and HSE. Both returned to sender with issues👀

Oh yeah I see now the 5 spoke khan ones (I only use an iPhone so I'll blame that for the mistake)

IMO if you liked the v8 then get another surely you can't have such bad luck to get another lemon?!?!

Would you be happy to have the last year of the tdv8? Is that new enough for you?

Been scouring the net, looking for facelift V8 in grey or black, so that is MY10, 59, 10 and possibly 11 reg with less than 50k miles. Rocking horse poo  2x TDV6. SE and HSE. Both returned to sender with issues👀

The black MY10 TDV8 at Hadley Green was mine. Recently part exchanged for their demo RRS2 HSE Dynamic.

It has a great spec and was running beautifully when I sold it.

Your correct , nice car. Did try and do a deal but it seems usual play resumes, to go from a Fullfat to a Sport, £14 k or there abouts. Seems my car has dropped £6k in a week as it has" to be sold at auction".
Feck it, I'll just have to drive on. 2x TDV6. SE and HSE. Both returned to sender with issues👀

Seems excessive, is yours very high mileage then?

49000 miles, full history and lots of options. Which is why I'm having a pop on open channel  2x TDV6. SE and HSE. Both returned to sender with issues👀

That's ridiculous, the ones I looked before getting the sport were dearer.
