Practically its a solution but so is not buying a Range Rover. No point IMHO unless your going to use it. |

KP and Gaz, that is exactly my current scenario, I have an old TD6 that is for towing, horse stuff etc. and an Audi S6 ostensibly for work purposes/miles. However every morning I jump in the RR as its by far the best place to be, especially on a rain soaked motorway.

I agree with Gaz. I've done around 15,000 (very comfortable) miles in my TDV8 in the year I've had it.

It is a bit like owning a stately home, but living in a caravan in the grounds because it's cheaper to heat. |

This has turned into a bit of a td6 bashing thread.

barracuda, thanks for that, as mentioned I have had a TD6 for 7 years and am happy with the package, i now want something for myself which will be another 5/7 year car if possible, we are all seduced by new technology/power etc, however i am not really bothered about that as I could live with the TD6 package happily, I also live on a farm up a horrendous dirt track so am aware of the noise/gearbox issues etc.

I would say the TDV8 is very easy to live with, running costs are not bad. The only issue comes if things go wrong. I have a Warranty Direct warranty and then there is just things like the air suspension to keep in mind.
