Picking up our D3 on Sunday

It's a 2010 se in metallic blue. Looking forward to having a proper drive in one, we test drove it and had an independant inspection.

It suffered quite a bit of road noise from the front which we think is probably due to mismatching budget tyres.

I'm looking to put a new pair on the front to start with, any recommendations? I'm looking for a quiet ride as a priority, off roading is not so much of an issue, we do a bit of logging and will have an occasional need to take it off road. Long life is also a high priority.

Will look to replace rears at a later date.

Try Andy at AJS ( site sponsor )
He will advise and good prices too.
Then you can take them to local tyre fitter to get fitted/balanced.
( about £10 each)

I have general grabber A/T good all rounders IMO

May also be front wheel bearing/s - if you got a warranty of any kind they should sort it.

Best thing to do is get it serviced straight away, that will find any issues that you haven't been told about. A shapely pair of legs is one thing but a nice bum is not to be sniffed at.

Good Year Efficient Grip will give you a smooth quiet ride and is fine for general snow and muddy field situations. I've had mine on for 12 months, they wear well and I've taken my trailer with 2 ton load through many muddy fields etc.

I don't know an awful lot about Land Rovers, my last one was a Series 3! but yes it's an SE.

Looking forward to getting it, but not enjoying the £500 tax, my other cars a hybrid.
