Thanks for all of the replies, I have had a tentative look at various adds some cheap some not. Lots seem to be for sale with seemingly small problems and not quite sure if they were small jobswhy people don't just do them.
MPG on my mates TD6 was better than Kermit gets on his V8. I agree about the gearbox and rust.Avoid the TD6.
shít MPG, crap gearbox and then there is the rust, plenty of it hiding behind arch liners and sill covers.
I'd recommend a 4.4 V8 but then you'll have a shít engine and gearbox to worry about.......
2005-2012 Supercharged V8 is your best bet, if you can stomach 14mpg or the 4.4 TDV8.
If it's the jag 4.4 v8 it's not **** at all. In fact, coupled with lpg it's by far and away the best option.Avoid the TD6.

M62 2002-2005, was the engine I was referring, the Jag engines are the best of the bunch,
The 4.4 doesn't tend to chew through Turbo's EGR's and Headgaskets, the latter is starting to become quite a frequent problem, with the 3.6,
I think there was possibly some improvement to oil feed to the turbos on the 4.4 but it isn't without issues either.
Ear, ain’t you got one for sale
Absolutely, if OP wants to do major engine workEar, ain’t you got one for sale
