You're not taking a day off tomorrow to meet the convoy to The Peak Distrcit are you? It would be a 'virtual friday' then! Thursday (afternoon) always feels like the start of weekend for me as its when I go back up north!Steve N | 21MY Defender | 08MY Discovery 3 (history) | 06MY Discovery 3 (ancient history)

also picking mine up today hence the 5;50am post. cant sleep, cant eat (not a bad thing), still rough after the chapagne toast / goodbye to the alfa last night.
Looks like I'm being a tad 'a___ retentive' in my approach compared to others here.
Oh well, I am looking forward to the first drive as I'm picking it up from Marshalls of Peterborough and driving it back to north of York.
So if you see a D3 driver with a large grin heading north on the A1 mid Friday afternoon........ guess who?
I spent weeks reading and re-reading the handbooks before I got my car last September; by the time I collected it, I knew more about it than the dealer did although browsing through this great site shows that few of the dealers (or the LR technicians for that matter) seem to know much about the car at all!!!
Hope you get your car today OK SimonH and that you can join us happy band of brothers who have had nothing at all go wrong with theirs.
I'm just a tad curious though why you bought it in Peteborough yet you live North of York I lived just South of Peterborough until last September and the Disco I had my first test drive in came from Marshalls in Peteborough but I bought my car from Rossleigh in Stockton.Now an ex-D3 owner after 7 happy years. Miss the car but not the big bills

I bought through tinternet broker who soured country for best quote. It turned out to be Marshalls and after that I have dealt solely with Marshalls.
All seems well since.... I suppose I could have done the leg work myself but am happy with the price I paid ( got £4431 off inc. vat price ) and 'twas less hassle, at the end of the day I am still dealing directly with a LR dealer, just one in Peterborough.

A good discount that considering the LR dealears aren't having to give away much at all when it comes to selling Discoverys!
