Ford Diesel V6
Ford are using the V6 diesel for the new F150 so plenty of life in the engine yet!

I read that too, interesting that they want an engine that LR is trying to stop using to bring in one with lower emissions when USA pollution requirements for diesels are way stricter than they are in Europe and you cannot even take a diesel car into some state like California.

I am not sure JLR want to change the engine for emissions reasons, of course any Ingenium based engine should be a step forward and has the advantage of being designed with a view to current and proposed standards but much as EU5 and EU6 etc have been added I don't think anything is fundamental to say the current unit cannot.
My view is that the biggest reason is that it will be an in house JLR unit, no external licensing/royalty/manufacturing dependencies etc that will give greater control, margins and potential value.
I am sure a clean sheet will also give many other advantages, be lighter etc but I don't think obscelescence of the current base engine is as big a driver of this as some people think.
I could be wrong and a diesel ban may be the case but I suspect it will be for political reasons not emissions as a urea injection equipped EU6 (which as VW have proved is really necessary to meet EU6) addresses the particulate and Nox emissions issues to a similar degree as a petrol. Indeed the whole VW issue was the attempted alchemy to meet the US Nox regulations, which are stronger than the EU ones.
Given Brexit, Trump and everything else going on I am pretty confident in the time I will keep mine that residuals will not be materially impacted by any future ban, given big petrols tend to be the things that hang around the forecourt longer and the higher running costs. Total respect to those who want to go the petrol route, it may well be fun and right if you are looking to retain longer term.
I could of course be wrong but banning would have big implications beyond this community given the dominance of deisel and certainly my "taste" has been retrained to prefer the Diesel torque and I hate filling up (almost as much as the paying) more frequently. Too late for me to change now anyway.
