I plan to move to a v8 purely because I have a bee in my bonnet about this crankshaft fiasco . Although I’m sure there is much more to gain than that . Do it . |

0310,,put a £500 deposit on the car & that will secure it & if you don't like it they will give you your deposit back,,at least that way no one can go & buy it.

Hi Cooperman Thanks for remembering me... Honestly, maybe a surprise, but after a few years now I would always prefere the SDV8 instead of an regular SDV6. It´s the more appealing driving experience and the good feel of a proper Range Rover. I took the SDV6 Hybrid, as I am really interested in technics and wanted to go for a special drivetrain. On order is also the next Hybrid, even it is only a four-banger petrol. For understanding, I have anyway an V8, in my histroric RRC 3 door first series. The old engine sounds amazing, and a ride with a car without any electrics and Gimmicks, just a full metal beast is nowadays really amazing.

SDV8? It's a bit like Kylie Minogue. You just would, so why ask...

I was on the fence even with the positive SDV8 reviews but then the crank issues finally swung me and I placed the SDV8 order.

RRS V8 on reserve, going to drive a FF V8 on Tuesday, if all is OK will go for it, if not its down the road for a V8 Mustang and bank some money - sub £40k and £140 VED. Mad, its a bucket list thing but it will lose a lot less than a RRS in three years.

Hi Tony I’ve always had V8 diesel sports apart from the very first one a 55 plate 2.7 diesel which I soon upgraded after a couple of years when the V8 first became available. Not looked back since and in the latest 2018 model I don’t think you will be disappointed at all it’s a vast improvement over my 2016 year model.As soon as I took delivery of it I had a massive smile on my face it sounded so much better and goes like stink!! Every chance I get to put my foot down I do,it just sounds so good and fuel consumption is good to,actually doing 27mpg the car says nearer 30 but I can live with that with such a good feel good factor.Take the plunge and enjoy yourself, life’s too short!
