All this talk of crankshafts is making me nervous so I have thought of putting it back to standard and getting rid. If I did I would find one of the last L320 Supercharged and mod that instead.

I had thought of changing to a petrol too. Changing job in the next few weeks and if things work as planned this year, I might be looking down the petrol route. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders

Seems that pre-facelift L320’s are gaining cult status................ must admit that if the forecast delays for my Mini PHEV materialise and delivery is put back any later then I will go and take a look for one to replace my L494 SDv6, for the prices that even moderate miles pre-facelift S/C’s make the cash savings over a brand new car pays for a lot of petrol even for an S/C! And now my annual miles are below 8000 a petrol makes better financial sense than a diesel 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

Petrol is the way to go,,,,,your never late in a V8.My annual mileage is only about 5k a year so 15mpg doesn’t bother me & ive no worries about the crankshaft snapping

15 mpg, that good, I remember running a 4.6 P38, that would show single figures if driven to design intent In Spain - 2018 F Pace - Frightened away from the Sports due to crank failures
