I think it's more along the lines that the 3.0 is smoother Ryan.

Think he's looking at 4.4 v 4.4 if I've understood correctly.

i think the point is that those who refer to the SDV8 as noisy and unrefined are comparing it to the 3.0.......

There are other threads on the comparison between the 322 and 405, but my view is that with the 4.4 engine you get noticeably more performance and refinement in the 405 than in the 322. As you say the 322 is not unrefined. The difference will, I think, be better sound insulation and aerodynamics in the 405. The downsides of the 405 are less load space, the seats only fold rather than fold and tumble and the mirrors don't fold as much, so the wider 405 is a tight fit in a single garage.

The seizing issue would make me run a mile. Don't care how much smoother it seems - it's gonna be really smooth and quiet when it's unable to run and you are stuck on the hard shoulder....

I've owned an L322 4.4 and it's a good car but not as refined as the SDV8 L405, nor as quick. I'm one of the members that believe that the issue regarding refinement is really about the L405 TDV6 being more refined than the SDV8. Both are a fair bit more refined than the L322. The V6 is as quick as the L322 4.4 and the SDV8 more noticeably so. |

I had the V6 in the 2 x D4’s that I’ve owned and now have the SDV8 in the FF.

Funny you say that - I have a Triumph Rocket III and the TDV8 does have a bit of that noise.
