As reported elsewhere on the forum, my TDV8 has spent the day at JE today.

The result is astounding, it absolutely flies. The mid-range is something to behold and the sound, well, it sounds nothing like a diesel

If you have a TDV8, it's a must have upgrade IMO.

Good to hear Paul!

Any chance you can upload a sound file for us all to hear the difference?

Hi Paul, interesting post,. I m used to a 645 cab bmw and XKR performance so whilst my tdv8 goes pretty well it would be good to hot it up a bit. What are the insurance implications of getting this done? J Jaguar XKR Convertible

Good to see you too, but you never did put the kettle on it's not as if a warm drink wouldn't have been welcome

I haven't yet heard it from outside, so I don't really know what it sounds like  RRS TDV8 - Stornoway Grey, Irory Leather with Dark Zebrano, Privacy Glass, Tow Pack.

Paul,

If i remember rightly, you had a TDV6? How would you say the TDV8 performs compared to the TDV6? - Appreciate this is a done to death topic, would just be interested in your view?? (Non JE'd by the way - just the standard car) Currently: Carbon Black 535d
RIP: RRSTDV6 HSE & DISCO3 HSE

Chalk and Cheese comes to mind.
The TDV6 was a lovely car, but the TDV8 takes it to a whole new level. The V8 engine is the engine it deserved from the start. It is just so much more useable.
You also get more toys with the TDV8
