Also dont forget you can get the gearbox remapped as well for better lockup and less slip so should help increase its life and help put the power down better. FFRR MY06 facelift With TDV8 Alloys Zeros/ATR's
Mantec Sump Guard, Rigid Load liner, MY10 BT upgrade.

I would have loved the V8 but I bought a TD6 instead. I've contemplated selling it and buying a V8 but ours has been very reliable in the near 5 years we've owned it, and I would be sad to part with it.
The TDV8 would be nice but it would grieve me to pay nearly £500 a year road tax!
