If fuel costs aren't a concern then there's no question, V8 all the way! You'll only do around 15mpg in a V8 auto but 25-28 in the Tdi but the V8 will be so much nicer to drive. Spent 5 weeks in Auckland a couple of years ago and heard the rumble of V8s all the time

No experience of the Jeep, people here tend to avoid them like the plague! Land Rover spares and technical support will be better as well, there's a strong club scene for them in NZ.
