First foray into Land Rover and chose a D3 HSE.
56 plate
45k miles
Picked it up on the Friday and it was in the garage on the Wednesday with a seized caliper! Seems to be sorted now so thought it was about time I put some photos up.
Bit of a different experience to my 5 series but loving it already!

Nice mate, that interior is in pretty special order for a 4 odd year old alpaca D3 Captain Nick Medhurst would ask:

Cheers guys, body work and interior is absolutely spotless! Amazing for it's age!
Not sure how it'll stay like that in my hands with the dogs etc.
Shall post some new pics once I've done a couple of wee mods.

I'm pleased with the move too!
Quite funny, I was on the phone to the dealer a few days later and he said a car identical to my 5 series with the reg number within a few letters had turned up with a guy looking to buy a D3 HSE! He said it was uncanny!
Fortunately for me I bought the cheaper of the two they had sitting on the forecourt.

Dunc, theres now 2 broken! Only one of them was before the D3 arrived. Could be an excuse for some monoblocking, but it's almost 50sq m!

Nice coat of white on that flank wall would really set the blue off nicely as well

Very nice looking D3, good choice.
But, I thought all HSE models had rear privacy glass as standard? Someone please correct me if this is not correct. Lloyd "Phat Face"
