Diesel V8 is twin turbo, and by 2010 I believe it's a 5.0L supercharged petrol.

Ad is wrong. Maybe it's a diesel with supercharged grill and lights?

Diesel engines can be supercharged but Land rover don't do one. Only turbo charged.

Although, if we wanted to be pedantic, turbos are actually turbine driven superchargers.

Loosely but superchargers give boost from the give go turbos don't. You don't get lag in superchargers.

Yep have worked on a lot of those. The supercharger drive shaft flattened at one end and hooked up a little made a super crow bar. Dirty filthy things to work on though.

Yes, I know, I was just being pedantic because I was stuck in an airport with rather too much time on my hands!
