CASS think you are right. I looked recently and next to no SDV8's kicking about. i am not rush, i am planning to keep mine for a tad longer and see what the market is doing around late summer sort of time.

Hello on this topic from Germany:

here the Ingenium diesel, especially the 4-cylinder, is completely defective in almost all Jaguars, RRSport or Discovery5 after 50,000km (oil intervals too long, timing chain -- between engine and gearbox, how stupid --- , oil dilution, it needs to be replaced, that costs around 27,000 euros, but if you still have the warranty, then the authorized dealer says: not available....., in addition the car with the 4-cylinder engine has a terrible sound, it doesn't fit at all. The best car is and remains the TDV8 or SDV8, I have been involved in vehicle technology professionally for 45 years and have always had well-maintained L405 and L322 with 250,000 mls (400,000km) driven, if you drive normally it needs 9 liters of diesel, annual tax is around 600 euros, insurance around 1400 euros. Also the 6-cylinder Ingenium ist defect after around 80.000km, but not so often like the 4-cylinder.

Buy a 2017 SDV8, high mileage, low price...... L405 SDV8 2017 + Lancia Flavia Coupe 1964 + RRS L494 3.0 SDV6 + C220CDI Convertible 2021

Just to clear is the D300 and D350 six cylinder egines in the new RR Ingenium engines?

They seem to be very well rated???

AFAIK, yes the issues with timing chain failure affect all models.

More info about the range on Wikipedia:
