From my experience of FFRRs - the TD6 is a noisy old beast.... the BMW V8 is smooth and creamy. It's always struck me that the Jag V8 is a little rougher round the edges, imho. |

Misery you do have a very good point about the noise, BUT i would rather have a nice comfortable quiet ride, if i want the noise i take the beast out, as for washing it, NO NO NO NO i get someone else to do that |

OK, not as good as the TDV6 in the Sport and certainly nowhere near the TDV8, but its not all that bad, and after having mine chipped it's much much better. You can read about it in the Mod section.

Can someone tell me if the FFRR received the same disel engine changes as the BMW X5 did between 2002 and when it was replaced in 2007? I seem to recall the Xf started with around 130Kw and 480nm and ended up with around 150kw and 500nm? Did the last TD6 FFRR have the latter power and torque? ANyone know what a Turbochip remap does to the latter engine? I'm thinking if it goes to say 180kw and 580nm it wouldnt be a bad bit of kit as they say!!! |

I've got a feeling that the Td6 Range Rover kept the same spec BMW engine throughout its life - i.e. it didn't follow the X5 with power increases, etc. |

I think you're right... often "borrowed" engines don't get the OEM updates. Halfway Down The Stairs,
