My Tonga green SE
I bought this D3 a month ago, was in the exact spec and colour I liked and had service history and the mileage was not too bad at 117k but within an hour of driving it home I had all sorts of problems! I had a massive oil leak and the dreaded judder appeared and then the hand brake decided it would like to stay on!!
Needless to say I was not too happy! But to be fair to the dealer he stepped up for all the repairs and now it drives like a dream and I am over the moon! Makes a change from driving defenders haha my plans are too put some AT tyres on and genuine Land Rover snorke these will work for being out on the plains a lot and doing shooting! Plus I have my personal plate to go on soon! Ian AKA Bodsy came over and did a few updates for me on the software to which I'm very pleased with and he is a top bloke too.Here's a picture of it already out on the plains and my Fred loving his comfy space in the back!

Looks great, nice choice of colour (same as mine )
I've got some 17" rims with Kumho KL71s sitting here waiting to be fitted, can't wait to try them out...

Thank you, I have had a couple of landys said in that colour now! It's my fav colour for a landy! I'm am debating if to get a set 19" wheels with AT tyres or just AT tyres for mine! I spend a fair amount of time in the fields!

To be honest Gaz it's a combination of that disco and the Overland one you modded that have been the inspiration behind modding mine

Had a few problems with mine after I bought it, in fact the same day I bought it. Dealer fix sunroof leak and then I changed out the coil springs and sprayed the lower steering joint. Cleaning out the the air filter, MAF, and throttle bottle has made a significant difference.
Nice color

I know how you feel landtree had a fair few issues after the initial purchase, now they are sorted I'm a very happy owner and after the trip I've just got back from I love driving it accept there is a high pitch noise coming from somewhere 😠lol
JDB, that's a fantastic picture and pretty much how I want mine to end up looking minus the roof rack! 😊
