So basically the diesel feels more relaxed because it develops its power lower down (hence greater torque)?
And the SC is faster because it develops greater power.
Interesting that both torque c ... |

I’m getting a feeling that each camp is extolling the virtues of their respective vehicle choice and, quite rightly, believes they made the right choice.
Has anyone regretted buying and changed s ... |

Could it Ben that a difference of even just a few mph in cruising speed makes a lot of difference to mpg?
I’ve had cars like that; I always put it down to the turbo kicking in and drinking more f ... |

Good for you 
Seriously though, there are those that would say a cheaper vehicle is going to be trouble (not me).

What’s the “price” to borrow it..... about £15k, no time limit?

My head agrees with you about provenance and history.

Thanks; I think I’ll keep looking, based on condition/price/spec, rather than engine type.
Guess I’ll be happy with either as I can appreciate each of the different characteristics they offer :th ... |

The torque from the 4.4 is epic, and more attainable. I can, well could, do my commute without going over 2000 rpm if I wanted.
The TDV8 has more torque, the Supercharged more power....higher up th ... |

| What’s the torque feel like in real world driving? Does the Diesel feel more relaxed in everyday driving? Does the SC need to be revved a bit more? |

Yes, I came to a similar conclusion.
Am most likely to buy privately and don’t want to waste garage owners’ time though.
Dunno who I’m kidding about whether I’m still considering getting ... |

I’d like what would be effectively an extended test drive of a late L322, so would like to find somewhere that hires them.

I am going through exactly the same questions myself (TDV8 or 5.0).
Problem is, the most recent (and newest) Land Rover I owned was a V8 Disco 2, and before that, a TD5, which is a strangely simila ... |
