Doubt it, something mundane like the L series might be a contender.

The 2.5 BMW unit was a good choice in my books.

Cheapest option is to buy a running driving s type or early xf and do the switch yourself, I'm building one myself and can confirm its expensive, doesn't always scrap the block but there's more than a good chance, crankshaft too thin under 7mm in some areas good luck all the best
French originally I believe?

Dunno. Could well be. The old Pug diesels were very reliable but start taking things to their limit and you can break anything.

Yes made by ford for Landrover, jaguar, citroen, Peugeot apparently so I heard french had input in design wanted it more compact to fit transversely but you hear these things but wouldn't suprise me, Discovery 4 air breather box pictured many more parts like this

Citroën c6 and if I'm correct the Renault espace had the same v6 diesel as well.
I found my 4.6 very reliable, was my only car for four and a half years.
