Well done Rob, seriously not many people come back so quickly from your last experience, so a real credit to you for not giving up until you get what is arguably one of the best cars In the world.
Hope you get yourself out and about and we can all buy you a pint to help contribute in some small way.

Really glad its worked out for you just a shame you had to go through all of the beforehand,fine looking car,Stormers look realy good on a dark coloured D3.
As well as putting Wiggs on speed dial i suggest putting TLO on there also.

Looks great 8) (although the tyres look to be too low profile in the pics for a Disco3 - are they RRS sized???)

Looks great. Just one problem that I can see in the pics..... The steering wheel is on the wrong side...

Glad all worked out Rob. Many forum members were probably thinking "it won't happen to me" but your case sure proves that may not always be the case.
But now simply go and enjoy the new purchase and put the rest behind you. Hint: you'll be able to do that easily in a Discovery 3!
Lastly, let me wish you and your family Merry Christmas on behalf of all the forum members.LeighW

Glad to see you finally made it Rob. She's a looker indeed 8)
Now you can work on your wishlist. Let me start for you;
1.) By the looks of it you could do with a smooth steering wheel.
2.) ?CLUB ILLEGAL CAR WASHERS

So, where are we all meeting up?
What's central for everyone?
Wishlist, in order of preference:
01. Rear headrest screens, I need to give Iain offroadessentials a call
02. Phone kit
03. Sat Nav update
04. Steering wheel, the current is worn
05. Perhaps side steps instead of the chrome tubes, my little girl, 6yrs, has already started with the complaints that she can't get in and out very well, not to mention it's the wrong colourl 8)

Nice one Will, good man for sticking with it !!!
Smooth steering wheel is a must (really easy fit with instructions on forum, contact TLO for price)
Wiggs - 4x4 Info on Sat Nav - done within week of me getting mine
Sat Nav maps/disc upgrade ??? (2009/10 available, but 2010/11 not out yet) - maybe in New Year for me.
Engine Remap - BAS (or other supplier....) remap. This I think will be my next one
Just a few thoughts

RLD Spare Wheel Protector
RLD Sump Protector
ProSpeed Compressor Cover
TPMS Retrofit
Range Rover Digital Dash Upgrade
Tesla Style Android Screen Upgrade

Club "yes, I too have had the compressor replaced..."
