Hi,

I am french and I have 3 land rover (109 SW/1969 - 90 Tomb Raider - Disco3 TDV6).

A friend of mine want to buy a V8 petrol RRS, MY 2007.

But in France, we can see 2 differents models :

4,4 V8 HSE 300 HP, like this one :

or
4,2 V8 Supercharged 390 HP, like this one :

I don't know the differences between V8 engines.

I know that on has more power, but also more taxes in France

But, are they good motors, or one is better that an other ? One has some big problems ?

He don't want to change the engine in 1 year

An other question : is the gearbox the same as a TDV6 engine ?

Many thanks for your informations

4.4 was a bit of a flop in the UK, they were sold for a limited period and were never very popular due to the running costs and poor performance figures compared to that of the S/C. Not sure on the french market but there are plenty S/C sports in the UK available for decent money.

MY advice 4.2 S/C and steer clear of the 4.4

Got to be the Supercharged of course mate  MY11 Autobiography supercharged. Santorini Black. Monaco interior. Rear screens. Privacy.
Gone MY08 Supercharged HST. Java black. Ivory premium interior. Rear screens. Privacy. Missed a lot.
Gone MY04 Discovery V8 Petrol ES Premium. Awesome.
