I hate to see the lovely V8 go out of the vehicle. I have a RRC LWB 4.2 and a RRC 300 TDI, both with BWTCs and ZF autos. Comparing the two I will choose the V8 every time over the TDI. The TDI is a good workhorse, however the V8 is a workhorse that puts a big smile on my face. You have made your mind so good luck.
