The Range Rover TDV8 has just got smarter! No it wont tell you the secrets of the universe but will actually protect you from accidentally putting the wrong fuel in your hot wheels! Via the petrol fuel guard system, the car automatically kicks in the mechanical shutter when a petrol nozzle is inserted! So if you ever suffer from a temporary bout of amnesia about your cars fuel type, don’t fret!

The 2007 model of the TDV8 is the complete luxury 4X4 vehicle solution according to the company. Apart from the fuel guard system one also comes across new enhancements like an all-new V8 diesel engine, new improved cabin design and some latest technologies like Terrain Response. Prices range from £53,995 to £74,795 and the TDV8 is on sale now.

Chief programme engineer for the 2007 model year Range Rover, Paul Walker, says: "The new TDV8 engine in the Range Rover is so powerful and refined we feel that there is a danger, more so with this vehicle than with any we have sold in the past, of the driver mistaking the vehicle for a petrol-powered derivative – especially if the driver isn't the vehicle's regular user. Mis-fuelling is an expensive and complex problem to fix, and we are delighted to be first to the market with this innovative solution."
