Hello to the site

Well I finally got my 58 D3 HSE today - I've moved away from a very nice 08 RRS TDV8 HST to economise but didn't want to slum it too much so went for a Disco. I have to say that I love the car and it has many features that I like even more than the sport, the extra £6000 in my bank to start with.

I just need to sort some sort of rear entertainment (had a PS3 in the sport) and I will be more than happy!

Better keep that £6K safe, as you'll need it for the modifications! Laughing

I don't think so....I seem to think there was a little revision on the 58 09 D3's to get rid of the last of the D3's.
I know they had colour coded wheel arches as standard and different wheels but not sure what else!

ok, i thought the only exterior changes was the colour coding for the for the 'final run out' models.
Just looked on the LR site at the spec for the D4 & your alloys are on there as an option (7 spoke 19").
Its not a bad thing if yours has D4 alloys on it 8)
I'm sure someone else will be along to confirm i'm wrong Embarassed

Just done an autotrader search on 09 HSE's and they all seem to have them as pictured.
It looks like they were standard for the 09 spec ones mate.

But are still available as an optional alloy for the D4?


{edit} i'll attempt to answer my own question, i take these are the same alloys on a D4

I took this photo of the new D3 HSE wheels at the Geneva motorshow in March 08... I think they are still an option on the D4's? I remember seeing them on HSE's in dealers around September 08.

I have to say they appear to clean far easier than the 20" stormers I had as standard on the sport.

Also loving the switch from 20" wheels to 19" which protect the wheels far greater.
