I had a 2.7 TDV6 D3 which I remapped to around 220hp. It went from slow to almost acceptable which I put down to the weight of the car but the engine itself was still a diesel with a narrow power band. No way you can compare it to a glorious petrol Rover V8.
The Rover V8’s rev band is no different to a diesel in its Land Rover incarnation. It’s limited to 5,000 rpm in the Discoveries. Sounds (much) nicer I will grant you that.

I used to help run a 120d bmw endurance race car, scrap yard all alloy 2.0l engine ran on the stock ecu (remap to lose ews) with a 3.0 turbo made 300bhp all day long and pulled past most stuff out of the corners
