for NEEDING one in a Disco 1.

Having test driven both an auto and a manual 300 tdi today they just didn't feel right compared to my memories of my old v8i from a few years ago.

I mentioned this fact to my better half and have just returned from casualty. What I need are some good reasons for having a v8 rather than a diesel that will be understood by someone who just doesn't get the "v8 thing"
 
Spose if it was runnin on lpg you could just about claim it was as cheap to run as a diesel. I love v8's but for everyday use it's got to be a tdi for me.
 
With an MS/EDIS upgrade the RV8 is no longer afraid of puddles.

However a Tdi is pretty much water proof straight out of the box (with wading plugs and a snorkel fitted)

The V8 has better 'pickup' from near idle and if you look at the torque curves there isn't much in it.

A crisp 300Tdi manual, prehaps with a larger intercooler too, should feel pretty lively on the road. The auto isn't as hidous as 'pub wisdom' thinks, but they aren't quite as brisk as a manual.
