Export LHD FFRR TDV8 to Canada
Discussion
Hi. Early days yet, however, I am thinking of exporting a used LHD TVD8 FFRR to Canada for personal use, as I am in the process of emigrating there. It will likely be a 2007 or 2008 3.6 TDV8 and I was wondering if anyone has done this before?
I can get decent FFRR in Canada for around 30,000 CAD and that would be a petrol HSE, around 2006 or 2007
However, the idea of a diesel with extended range, compared to petrol, appeals to me especially as distances are huge over there
Any thoughts welcome
thanks

Needs to be over 15 years old to import it to Canada. Sorry to be the pourer of cold water.
"You cannot import a vehicle that was manufactured to meet the safety standards of a country other than the United States or Canada unless the vehicle is the following:
15 years old or older (excluding buses);
a bus manufactured before January 1, 1971; or
entering Canada temporarily.
If the vehicle you are planning to import into Canada is less than 15 years old or is a bus manufactured on or after January 1, 1971, you must prove that your vehicle qualifies for one of the above exemptions. You can find details on determining the age of a vehicle, types of temporary imports and conditions under which a vehicle may be imported temporarily by referring to the previous section called "Importing vehicles acquired in the United States."

Can you get the TDV8 out there at all??
If you can, is there much of a price difference? If not, you might want to think about things like servicing and supply of parts, etc...
If it were me, I'd be looking at something more 'special'... Maybe a classic sports car or something exotic.

Ahhh... Back to my other suggestion..."You cannot import a vehicle that was manufactured to meet the safety standards of a country other than the United States or Canada unless the vehicle is the following:

Maybe something different, like an ex-Camel Trophy vehicle???

Oh shucks!
Sounds like it may have to be the petrol HSE after all......
Never having sat in a Range Rover (let alone driven one), is there much in the way of drivability between the petrol and diesel? I guess the added torque of the diesel makes it better for overtaking but, since 90% of the time it will be on cruise control at 60-70mph (or equivalent in KPH), does it make any difference?

The NA 4.4 does drive very well but different power delivery. The TDV8 has a low down grunt, delivering most of its power at 2000rpm, the 4.4 has to be revved a bit more as like most petrol engines, it delivers its power higher up.Sounds like it may have to be the petrol HSE after all......
