Also Aviva who operate Land Rovers free 7 day insurance policy for new vehicles say there is no such vehicle as a Discovery 4 SDV6 so are unable to insure them

I may be wrong here but after MY10 all 245bhp models were badges as SDV6, the TDV6 indicated it was a 211bhp model.
Spoke to Land Rover today after after reading this i was shocked to think i may have bought a lowered powered TDV6 HSE
Anyway they checked my vin number and warranty details and told me mine is fitted with a SDV6 even though it is badged as a TDV6
Build Date on mine is April 2010
They also told me the TDV6 engine is only available in the commercials
Had me confued too - i've read all the road tests from 2009 to present and they are all quoting 245bhp
I think its a rebadge change for year 2011 to seperate the engine variant
Maybe the lower powered TDV6 210bhp is a new introduction ????
Will check with another dealer tomorrow
Just come back from trip to Isle of White - WOW what a great drive , really shifts on the motorway

My 2010 HSE is Badged TDV6 but has a SDV6 Engine 245bhp
Checked it with a dealer to be sure
Think its a Badge thing for 2011 ?

Roy - your dealer is right.
As Ent said, the name change only happened "after MY10" or "from MY11 onwards" in other words.
MY10:
2.7 (190bhp) badged as "TDV6"
3.0 (245bhp) badged as "3.0 TDV6" (what is now called the SDV6 engine)
MY11:
2.7 (190bhp) was dropped
3.0 (211bhp) is badged as "TDV6"
3.0 (245bhp) is badged as "SDV6"
If yours was built in April 2010 then it is definitely a MY10 build which means that it has the same 245bhp engine as the MY11 SDV6 motors, but it is still badged as a TDV6.
Just out of interest (and to check my facts), is yours badged "TDV6" or "3.0 TDV6" ?

I was referring to Ent's way of describing it as "after MY10" (does that mean after MY10 was launched or after it stopped being produced ) which is what Mr Lance quoted and obviously got a bit confused from.
Your previous post on the topic was, as usual, the pinnacle of clarity DG.... 2006 Discovery 3 TDV6 SE AutoBuckingham Blue 2007 Golf GT DSG
