Great informative video.

Interesting opinion on wheel size. I would have thought for mixed use, including farm tracks, 19" would have been more suited.

He's identified the sweet spot in the market. The 3.6 is such good value these days that it's really hard to justify the 4.4, although I might change my mind if I drove one.

not buying the parallel/sequential turbo argument!

Key to the new engine's performance and efficiency is the Parallel Sequential turbocharger system which is almost identical in concept to that of the fantastic, 2010 3.0-litre LR-TDV6 introduced on the Discovery 4. During normal driving, a medium-sized, variable-geometry turbocharger works alone, optimising efficiency. When the engine revs climb beyond 2,400rpm, valves in the exhaust manifold open and a smaller, secondary turbo seamlessly accelerates to full speed in just 20 milliseconds, full bi-turbo operation being achieved in only 180ms with no lag or power step. This method allows the second turbocharger to remain dormant when not required, improving engine efficiency by reducing pumping losses. A balance pipe connecting the two manifolds equalises pressure between the two exhaust systems.

Yes, this is the 4.4 TDV8 system:

Yes, very good video with some sensible advice for potential buyers, thanks for flagging it.

Watched this a couple of times now (plus other useful YouTube L322 videos). Budget is always a factor between choosing a good 3.6 which can be over 15k to a good 4.4 which are now dipping below 19k. More looking on autotrader over the coming months...
