Ah the V8 is proper
The wheezy diesel is just inadequate

V8 is a liability over here, when there are petrol shortages due to strikes & protests, I can keep going either on veggie oil or the red diesel that we use for central heating and up to 30mpg on a run.Ah the V8 is proper

I would much rather travel in comfort at 70 MPH and 34 MPG in a diesel, than travel in comfort at 70 MPH and 22 MPG in a 4.6.

A V8 has an inherently uneven firing cycle.Mine is smooth as silk
Maybe the one you heard was broken

I had one of those, took it in P/X, but it was more of a smoke generator than engine.
