I am going to run the Petrol for the near future as I just love the Petrol V8 experience (Great sound, power plus super smooth with No torsional vibration) and as stated above if buying used its cheaper for 8 years and who keeps a car 8 years.... |

Exactly can be very frustrating trying to explain, and lets not forget that Petrol V8's are much more fun to drive! Good man |

Well two years and £3.5K in autobox repairs, asuming the petrol autobox is stronger/better, I'd have been better off with a petrol... |

And those that have only ever driven an oil burning TD Range Rover should really give the super smooth and powerful Petrol a try - you will be pleasantly surprised. |

I did the same calcs when I bought an SC. Unfortunately the SC sounds too much fun with the throttle fun on, so I'm probably not living up to my calcs.

Get the rare but cheap normally aspirated 305BHP AJV8 I actually prefer it to the Supercharged version but thats also an amazing engine. I like low down V8 Grunt combined with ULTRA smoothness |
