i would say a 200tdi, they always seem to start. v8's sometimes don't want to be woken up on a cold morning but every time i jump into my series tdi, it starts, even when i forget the glowplugs.

Coming in your ears.
true the v8 has more systems to fail and not a great igntion system, but compare how many tdis need stripping down vs how many 3.5s need to be taken apart and i bet the old clunker v8 turns out more mechanically reliable...
plus the tdi isnt an engine its a smoke and noise machine used to turn engine oil black
Yeah the V8 I used to have did a wonderful job of converting petrol into noise, but less luck with producing much power along the way

The V8 takes some beating on over run for noise.
mine was quick.

Probably tempting fate here, but the 200 in mine is still going strong with no problems since the up day I bought it 10 years ago, 1 puff of smoke on start up, regularly serviced, never thrashed, still pulls well ( up hills ) ( it used to be red but now its blue ) keeps up with todays traffic well.
I've had the chassis fixed, doors replaced etc, etc, but the engine remains untouched.
Watch this space now , got a feeling that has just jinxed it.
