The V8 diesel will be released in the RRS in October 2006. Don't think LR have yet decided whether to put this into the D3 yet in the UK.
Looking further ahead, LR have apparently committed to offering diesel engines in the US market as a strategy to combat the rising cost of fuel there and "green lobby". The US market is hungry for diesel engines but still expect power outputs that the V6 wont manage - hence the V8 will almost certainly be fitted to the LR3 in due course - but not necessarily in the UK. Remember the Discovery 2, the only market in the world to get the 4.6litre V8 was the US, everyone else had to put up with a mere 4 litres. Disco 4 TDV6HSE

The V8 will fit in the Disco3 no problem however it is very doubtful that it will appear in the UK in anything other than the new RR and RRS  Money talks.Sex sells.Mud sticks.Time flys.  happens.People talk.Impressions last!
