diesel is the new petrol!

diesel gives more torque than petrol!

torque is what you need for pickup not bhp!

sour grapes!

Your right, and I have been in chipped diesels that stuck my eyeballs to the back of my skull, but there is nothing like a bit of banter  :pokey:

And you cant beat the sound and feel of a V8 at maximum revs  :fuelfire:

In addition... I have halogen projector Depo headlights on the 4.4i which I've bought a 55w HID kit (inc ballasts) for but have yet to fit. The plan is to swap the Depo's over to the 3.0d and then fit the HID kit to the Depo's, then transfer the factory Xenons from the 3.0d on to the 4.4i, my question is will the factory Xenons plug straight in on the 4.4i or is there more involved?  :blink:
