Thanks everyone for your help and advice. I am now the super proud owner of a stunning Bonnetti Grey D3, 06 plate with 42k miles and full LR history. It is in immaculate condition with one former keeper. I spent a little over my budget, but have ended up with a car which is in way better condition that I thought I would ever find. The 2 hour drive home after I bought it was immense! Just cruising down the motorway at speeds that would be noisy in my Disco 1, enjoying the leather, and Karman stereo, and cruise control...you get the idea. Very very happy.

Thanks again for your input - always good to hear the views of true enthusiasts!

Permagrin won't budge! Decal already has pride of place on the tailgate as I bought it from a forum member!

Happy days!

Brazil 2006 Discovery 3 TDV6 HSE Auto Unknown ColourDiscovery 3

Hi! I´m looking for a 06 D3 HSE TDV6 with 42k on it but a friend of mine who had an HSE told me he had problems with the air suspension and if he was me he would prefer a coil spring "S" model. Did anyone here had problems with the air suspension models??
cheers!!!

There's more to go wrong with air suspension than coils. Search the forum and you'll get arguments for both but the majority are on air.
