I came up behind a D350 last week on a dual carriageway that has quite a few roundabouts with 2 lanes. Let’s put it this way, the SDV8 had the edge in acceleration. There wasn’t a lot in it but there was a noticeable difference. 2021 L405 Vogue SE 4.4 V8 DIESEL ~ #17 |

The D300 is an amazing engine and you save about £7K!! All LR cars from 1984

I would definitely get the newer car. You could probably count in seconds the amount of time on an average one hour trip the V8 is functionally better for you. I got the 2.0 PHEV instead of a 5.0 which was roughly the same price, I am perfectly happy. Just moving with the times! L405 P400e Autobiography (MY2020)... Silicon Silver / Espresso |

Do these D300/D350 engines suffer a similar frequency of crank failures as the SDV6?

The D300/D350 is a straight six so doesn't have the fragile crank of a V6.

That is also an option Kot, a rather agreeable one too. First time FFRR owner |

the SDV8 currently suits my mileage profile Gary and it is perfectly suited to a FF however the sweet spot for me would be a 2021 registered one and I think they will be hard to come by with the D300/350 coming-out in 2021. I'm hoping for a late registered onto come on the market when I am in a position to buy.

Is the engine a 2L or 3L? Lots of issues with the 2L. |

The D350 in the new Range Rover goes very well with good mpg also, I think it's just as quick as the SDV8. overfinch modified |
