4.0 diesel V8. That was my favorite. I like the 300GD that we share with my father very much but 400 is my favorite. I really hope that one day i will gather enough money for it.

Less time in the Garage, perhaps?

Spider1V - More time at the filling station (and seeing the bank :cry: )

a six is always smoother than an 8 even a bent one. Taxi engines are rough anyway so having a 6 helps a lot.

"Remember this" is about a G400V8 cdi which is currently listed on e-bay and has suffered expensive electrical problems now fixed apparently.

270 and 400 were replaced with the 320cdi to meet euro 4 emissions. Who knows why they never put the euro 4 420cdi in.
