Hi all, I have just sold my D3 and now looking for about an 07 TDV8, any advice on what I should look out for. Also do the Aussie RRS at 07 have dynamic suspension???

If you go for the MY08 update, you get satnav standard, and premium leather - plus some other features.

Given the way prices are holding up though, it is still an expensive proposition.

I was looking for a TDV8 originally, but they were all $80k +. when you can get a MY10 TDV6 for a bit more ( all difference when on lease), I was willing to part with the dosh to get the peace of mind of warranty.

The new TDV6 is almost as powerful as the old TDV8, and having driven both, I was happy to go down the v6 path.

I must say though the V8 sounds better and does have a little more shove. 2011 TDV6 Luxury - Baltic Blue, Ebony with Contrast Stitch, RSE, Stormers, Towpack.

Agree TDV8's are still holding a premium, why not try for a MY10+ model in the TDv6. Do not expect the humph in terms of pull away, but quick enough, and with the satisfaction of a longer warranty

J, if you see a Fuji white MY10 with QLD plates around town, that is likely to be me, will look out for yours, not a
common colour

G'day Spencey,
I have an 08 TDV8 for sale.. Just purchased LR/Allianz 2 year extended warranty for it. PM me if still interested.

Jools. SDV8 arrived and fantastic even the infotainment!
1983 2 door Range Rover ARB Bar X9000 winch ARB Rear Bar now semi retired.
Many big trips done in this one.
1982 Rangerover nearly restored.
22 Defender D250 with lots of stuff for outback touring
Nice 2013 Freelander TD4 manual (for daughter to learn on) with much better stereo compared with previous SD4 SE with Meridian which sounded bad!
2013 Land Rover Defender ute.

Just be aware that there's an issue with the Dynamic Response system where there is an incurable knock occurs after some time, that Land Rover cannot fix. This is a well known problem and there is no solution in sight. 1999 Discovery II V8 auto
