They are the CAP values the rest depends on the market.

So £10k plus to move from 4.2 to 5.0 is realistic and about right, subject to ... etc

Thanks

Sorry but where do you get the 10k from? Same year is 4000 so I guess it totally depends on the age of the 4.2

didnt make a 2009-09 4.2 , did they? ... - .- -.

Stan,

Available model year data shows:
4.2SC/ 6Spd ZF – 2006MY to 2009MY (UK 55 plate to 2009 plate) = 4.2 Supercharged engine using the ZF 6HP2, 6 speed automatic gearbox.

Gary, my original post that you replied to was not referring to a 2009 4.2 sorry, I was referring to 2007> and likely cost to change to a 5.0. I'm fairly sure £10k upwards to change would be realistic. Apologies for any confusion

Gary, my original post that you replied to was not referring to a 2009 4.2 sorry, I was referring to 2007> / our sort of year and mileage and likely cost to change to a 5.0. I'm fairly sure £10k upwards to change would be realistic. Apologies for any confusion and if you want to correct me and tell me that it would only cost £4k to change, I'll have two please

Yes as I said £4k CAP for exact same reg date but £10k right for A 2007 4.2 against a 2009 5.0

ryan/gary, i've only seen 4.2's up to 58 reg and then 5.0's starting with the 09 reg ....

My only reason NOT to buy one was the use of the ageing 6 speed box

Why oh why not the 8 speed

Go and test drive a 4.4 TDV8 before you fully make up your mind

They may have made a 2009 4.2 but it would be interesting to see how many were sold , the only one I have ever see was a white left hand drive and it was for sale in Dunbarton for really optimistic money . 2008 MY Supercharged
Rimini Red / Jet
four zone climate
remote park heater
and no ugly kid windows.
magnus satis quod turpis satis

They are rare but they did make them. Saw one recently (optimistically) for sale alongside 5.0's at just a small amount less.

I agree with Craig, the 5.0 should have had a 8 speed box for sure even though it doesn't need with the amount of torque it has over the entire rev range. I bet the reason is development cost and/or time would have been too much at the time to mate the 5.0 with the 8 speed. These days there is so much testing and programming needed that it must have been resources (not enough people to do the job) or pure cost or regarded as not necessary with the 5.0 SC.

I can't judge it because I never drove one of the 8 speed FFRRs yet, would love to but obviously haven't had the chance yet. MY 2010 5.0 SC Galway green and sand interior!!
Have the Faultmate MSV2 Extreme to be tinkering with the settings etc. !!

Having owned a L322 5.0 SC and now a L405 with the same engine, I must say it is not really the gearbox that sets the two apart but the chassis (with Adaptive Dynamics) and the weight loss. Yes the gearbox is better but it is not like "waw that gearbox was really what the engine needed" if you understand what I mean!

I really like the smooth as silk 8-Speed but I also like the more pronounced gear changes of the 6-speed in a 5.0...

BrrrrrrrrrrrrHup, BrrrrrrrrrrrHup, BrrrrrrrrrrHup, BrrrrrrrrrrrHup......
