Hi Big Kev - Welcome to the site.
Whilst my D3 is lacking in all the extras you are seeking advice about, I reckon you have still come to the right place.
You can do a search of Jamo's and PCH's galleries to see those accessories in use and then could ask via the forum specific questions or PM members about their particular experiences with brands that work for them.
HTH, Leigh LeighW

Big Kev,
Because the Disco3 is relatively new, there isn't a lot of aftermarket accessories for it. The available and popular ones I've noticed are:
- Front Bullbar: ARB steel
- Rear bar: Kaymar (with tyre/fuel can carrier options)
- Fuel Tanks: LR
- Dual Batteries: Traxide Tronics isolators
On dual batteries, the Disco3 uses a Calcium battery and it's alternator is capable of charging at higher than usual voltages. These high voltages are not recommeded for ordinary batteries. So if you are planning on fitting a second battery make sure it's a calcium type or better.
Genuine Off-Road tyres - currently, there are none unless you plan to use non-standard tyre diameters. The standard OEM tyres are Wrangler HT which are good on-road but in mud or sand you will struggle. In other conditions, the excellent traction control should make up for the tyre deficency.
Good luck and congratulations with your purchase. '06 Disco 3 TDV6 SE Buckingham Blue

Hello Big Kev, welcome aboard! 
If you've got an 'S' then it's propbably got 17" wheels so the tyre choice is a bit better than for the 18"s. There are Cooper STT's available in 245/70/R17. Have a nice day!
