Keep the V8 or get a 300Tdi??
jjsaul:
v8...all the way!
we've got 4 of em and the only way i'd be persuaded to a diesel is probably a diesel v8 gmc lump lol...even that's pushing it though.
If you're going to do big mileage get lpg, if not don't bother. sit down and work out how many miles you've got to do to pay for the conversion.
A basic single point gas conversion is £300 (kit) or around £600-700 fitted. For a multipoint system expect to pay towards £2000 fitted. You get what you pay for but again it depends how much you're going to use it.
V8's aren't as fussy about water as diesel owners make out...if you really want to go playing in the water just fit rubber 'gloves' on the dizzy and coil and away you go.
On the topic of diesels, all of them sound like tractors. My dad's got a 57 plate vw passat diesel and even that sounds noisy and rattley, compared with the nice burble of a v8 :afro:

what even with the cost of the lpg conversion included?
...and what about the deviation mileages that many gas owners have to do to find a station that sells gas.
rather than spend all that money converting it to be as good as a diesel you may as well buy a diesel in the first place. (in my view)
Diesel is the best fuel until fuel cell arrives !!
mentalmoshio sophs V8i:
the american have v8s landy only i think , diesel pass with something else other than in a landy :wink:
lets face it a converted v8i 3.9l u ll get for around 1700 quid these days. put this way u have a 145 bhp now u could have 185bhp and 230 torque compared to 111 bhp and 198 torque from a 300 tdi
plus a 3.9 sounds better than a 3.5
Guardian.:
a 3.9 sounds much beter than a 3.5, w t f are you going on about.

Having had 2 V8 and 2 diesel Land Rovers I'm sticking with the diesel. Although diesel's so expensive now I'm not sure I'm going to end up running either.
