Tempted to sell td6 and get a tdv8

We have had our 2004 td6 for about 7 months and really like it. But now i am liking the look of the facelift 2006> tdv8.
Am i mad wanting to swap as i have just about got our td6 sorted i.e all new front upper and lower arms , new tie rods , new drive shafts , gearbox flush + front and rear diffs , new rear wiper motor , full service , remove egr valve etc

Reasons i want to swap are -
I would like cooled seats
6 speed gearbox
newer interior trim + exterior
v8 power Wink
Is it worth my while swapping or should i stick with the td6 ?

I've been in my brother in laws TD6, nice car. But I then bought a TDV8, much more refined. Does that answer your question?

^ You do get to a certain stage in life when you think a TD6 is like a refined sedan. Gutless my Censored Thumbs Up

Each has there Achilles heel. Tranny on td6 and turbo/EGR on tdv8.

My 3.6 is going great at 265,000km. I love it. ______________________________

Switzerland 2007 Range Rover Vogue TDV8 Stornoway Grey

Recently, briefly, drove a 2007 TDV8 for the first time.

It was as I expected, a lot more shove, a lot more refined.

Couldn't give a Censored about the looks, and if anything I prefer the earlier cars for looks. The V8 interior was nicer though.

Just changed from Td6 to 3.6 TDv8. Really liked the Td6 but the Tdv8 is a long way ahead for performance and refinement. John

^Agree with that - the early BMW seats were probably the best Thumbs Up

I still prefer the THV8 though Laughing
