No the reason is neither of those - it is because there are some markets where the diesels are not sold and LR is fullfilling orders for those markets rather than trying to shift a slow seller in the UK. I haven't heard any Si4 owners in the UK reporting engine problems in the rain, can you enlighten us?

I had scheduled today to be giving my wife's new car a good polishing (or detailing as it is now known) - but that didn't happen (see posts elsewhere).
So I was bored this morning as too foggy to do much else.
Anyway here is the Si4 link problem from another site in the USA.

Don't forget the weather in the US is 'bigger and better' than ours.
These are of course as the title of this post states - rumours

Thank goodness diesels don't have spark ignition!

Wow, when this is really going to happen, I won't ordering an Evoque in January if the price is up 1 buck. I don't see the need for an SD4 and I would be happy with the TD4.
This is smelly, and I started to look for alternatives again.
I hope this won't happen.

RYO it is only in the UK (at the moment) that TD4 is apparrently being withdrawn - you may still be able to order one in Europe where they are a bigger seller and may not have the eD4 option.

Thanks XFullFatTim, I hope you're right. We have the eD4 option here, so I'm afraid this illogical move could happen. This really made a "disturbance in the force" for me.
I would offer more options. A downsized petrol would be good, too. With the Euro5 Diesel, we will have headaches here after 2014. I think this will cost a lot of money. And many people wished for more powerful engines, too. Some even ask for Hybrid and LPG. So I find this quite irritating.

So what are the reasons to withdraw an option since it's now in production...? Is it just temporary?
Shortage of TD4 engines...?
Thoughts that a Range Rover should always have the bigger engine...? Leave the TD4 for the FL?
Too many options eD4, TD4, SD4...?
Too confusing that TD4 and SD4 have identical efficiency figures...
I wonder how many TD4's have sold against SD4's?
Seems strange since the worlds supposed to be going greener...

You should see the panic over on FullFatRR........................... there is a rumour that FFRR might get an eDv6 2WD option. It was confirmed as being "under discussuion" by somebody at the factory apparently. They are like we were here - how embarrassing will it be to see FFRR's stuck in the snow when it should be able to handle it no problem! I haven't told them over there that eD4 is reckoned by the motoring press to be very capable offroad for a 2WD car.

Yes, I can imagine that causing outrage with the die hards!
