Having owned both the 2.7 D3 and the 3.0 D4 I can vouch for the lag on the single turbo engine. I had the D3 remapped to reduce the “downtime” until something moved. My recent step up to the 4.4SDV8 AB is very different in power delivery. It really does feel like you’ve strapped the flying Scotsman to the back of it when you give it some beans. I use it for towing my two and a half ton caravan (which I’m doing as we speak, well not as I type) and the extra power is very noticeable. When solo and driven like a chauffeur to keep the wife happy it’s returning between 32-35mpg. I’m very happy with my V8. |

Through all those flies, that looks like a Dark Atlas front grille Alistair... |

Thinking of changing my last of the line D4 Landmark for a FF and am reading through the forum with interest. Love the L322, but seriously tempted by the L405. I have a TDV8 RRS and loved that, so I think I am going to have to go for the V8 - now only have to decide between petrol and diesel. |

There’s a big difference in price & fuel economy between the two...... |

Depends on the year. You have to be careful!! 2013 to 2015 the VED is very different between TDV6 and SDV6, but EU6 ones are almost the same at about £300, then they all shoot up to £450 from 2017. |

My VED was £305 this year which was £215 cheaper than my 12 plate D4. |

Get the 4.4 unless your doing horrendous mileage is it really going to affect you, and what’s an extra £20 a month on the direct debit?
