I can never remember with the D3 - is the 4.2 TDi the one to go for as opposed to the 4.0 TDi? I know one of them is more troublesome but can't remember which.

For the cost of this S8 I am just into D4 territory. I hadn't realised that the 3.0 TDi's were so quick compared to the D3 3.0 TDi's.

Found two near me which look promising:
