The 4.4 and 4.2 are good motors.
The 4.2 is supercharged and slightly thirstier and slightly more complex, I'd have it if i could stomach the Fuel bill
The 4.4 is very spritely and simpler and the one i'd go for!
The Lion TDv8 is ok.
But like the TDv6 it eats turbos and EGR's.
And recently among higher mileage examples Headgaskets and Various seals are showing signs of failure so beware.
The TDv8 will do 22-25mpg compared to the Petrol which will do 18-20 so IMHO it's not worth it..
Best stay with the Petrol!!
Perfect , thks buddy
indeed sounds like the 4.4 is the one to go for , million dollar question LPG or not ??????
Know it makes it more complicated and of course if it’s been fitted correctly , along with ensuring it has the flashlube fitted
Think also it needs to be from 2007 so it’s paired with the ZF 6 x speed , same as what I’ve got in my D3 and must admit is the smoothest gearbox I’ve had
Thks again and great amount of info
