It's an amazing engine, quick, quiet and very economical. I average 31 mpg (on an app, not what the vehicle tells me which is 34!!). I think it is everything you need unless towing which I don't do.

Most of my journeys are under 20 miles so I am really impressed. I have done 26k miles since new in 2021 and am going to keep the car instead of Part-Xing for a L460 which I think is totally overpriced. The equivalent to the spec on my car is now about £125K!! All LR cars from 1984

I’m about to take delivery of a D300 90. On the test drive I was very impressed as to how it pulled and very similar characteristics to the 4.4 tdv8 in the L322. Result Thumbs Up Gone to a good home: 2011 4.4 TDV8 Vogue SE Buckingham Blue with Ivory and clear glass = "Rory"

thanks, I just test drove a 21 plate Westminster with this engine. The engine is great, but not impressed with a bit of a bouncy/juddery ride. It had 22" wheels, so hardly any rubber ! I think that's probably why. Big Cry
