For ease of use and availability of fuel go for derv. For driving enjoyment go V8/LPG. Whilst the TD6 is an improvement over the 2.5 in the P38 it still shows BMW's lack of investment in Landrover and its no ball of fire.
Until I can justify the cost of a TDV8 (which is a cracking engine) I'll be sticking with the V8's.
Isn't the TD6 the Ford/PSA engine also found in Jag, Citroen C6, etc? Although bettered by the newer 3.0, the 2.7 is hardly a bad engine... and certainly a big step on from the 2.5BMW unit which is very basic by comparison....

The early L322 diesels were fitted with the BMW straight six which I think puts out about 175bhp, which is never going to shift a motor the size and weight of a small house.
The TDV6 is a Jag/Ford engine and came along in the new Disco and is a fine engine (In an S Type Jag) but still struggles to shift the bulk of a Disco. But in the TDV8 Landrover has finally found a diesel engine that can warrant the 50K+ price tag.

At traffic lights it ****es over other cars when pulling away ! Lol
