United Kingdom 2005 Discovery 3 TDV6 SE Manual Java BlackDiscovery 3

Couple of initial questions if someone could help that'll be great

1. I need a spare key, any alternative to the dealer?
2. I don't have the key for the detachable towbar
3. I'd like some sidesteps, where are we getting high quality accessories chaps (and are they easy to fix?)
4. What can I do with the built in sat nav, is there someone here who can update, and what do I get for the money?

Also, I'd be interested to know whether I got s good deal.
It has a full LR service history, last serviced at 48k Jun 2010.
Full leather
Seven seats
Sat nav
Front and rear heated seats
Privacy glass
Zenons
Detachable towbar and lots of things I won't bore you with as they're probably standard
Up at £12,995.00 but walked away at £12,500.00 incl. full valet.

Only bad points are lack of a second key and a small graze down the drivers side passenger door which I reckon £150.00 will sort.

Oh, and it has an ugly looking LR black plastic front bumper (bull bar?) that I just have to take off so guess I'll need to get the holes filled and sprayed?
Another £200.00 perhaps?

Cheers,
Will

At that price you should get a nomination for "business man of the year"

Sounds good Will, enjoy it Thumbs Up


Oh and that ugly plastic bumper is the A-bar I presume. If you take off your main bumper and fish out the A- bar fitting kit, then put it all up for sale on here then that would go a long way to fixing the holes and respray Thumbs Up

Congratulations, Capt Impetuous - but sounds like a deal not to pass up on.

Don't let this one run on - order one up from the dealer and then get Iain (10forcash) to code it to the car if you're getting him to give it a post-purchase inspection. Other forum sponsors can also do the key coding (Wiggs,Pete Bell).

Farnell LR have quoted £168.00 for the key and coding or £113.00 for the key only.
Sound about right?

Does anyone have a site link to reliable, good quality accessories?
Side steps are a priority and I'd quite like a reversing camera supplied and fitted Very Happy

The key price sounds about right; you can check a price with Nick - the Large One.
I'd also ask him for a price on side steps - the LR ones are good (other than some people have lost the silver edge trim).

You might find a forum member who wants to get rid of his/her steps and come to an arrangement. Since fitting involves cutting holes in cill trim, an exchange will save the former steps owner having to buy replacements.
