Crispy, thanks for opening the discussion on this topic. Looking at upgrading from a 3.6TDV8 to a later model 322 (SWMBO has a distinct preference for the "boxy shaped range rovers". Towing our caravan, which weighs in at about 3.1T fully laden, I am super impressed by the TDV8, so while e heart says SC, the mind says TDV8. So... Looking at late model 322 4.4's. Towing a decent weight van, looking to make sure the tug has adequate stopping power! Pi wasn't aware the TDV8 had lost the brembo a at some point, so keeping a watchful eye on this one.

All 4.4's came with 6 pot Brembo's sir... It was only the 3.6 that lost them for a while sir

The 4.4 TDV8 was available in a Sept 2010 built MY11 eg SALLMAMH3BA336273 yet my supplied VIN above is for an August 2011 built MY12 na 5.0 without Brembos, as observed from pictures that are supposed to be of the same vehicle as the VIN. Hence I can't see how "Brembos across the range" can coincide with the release of the 4.4 TDV8 unless in practice the UK did not get the na 5.0.

No sir, the UK did NOT get the N/A 5.0 so Brembo 6 pot's covered the entire range in the UK sir

Thanks for the clarification/confirmation Craig

That's one less excuse the good lady has to deny me throwing more money at another 'investment'.

Thanks from me too Craig. All clear now. Solution is simple, just go for the 4.4 TDV8 problem Solvered.
