My first D3
Morning all,
I purchased my first D3 yesterday. Will be picking it up on Tuesday. It's a Dec 04 HSE tdv6. Just broken in with 265k kilometers, full main dealer history.
I have enjoyed reading up on what's needed in the form of mods etc. These are my plans for the near and distant future:
Full service
EGR Banking
IId tool: 3 flash, COD, FBH
BAS Remap
Flush gearbox
BT module d4
Brodit clips for Tomtom
BT aux mod
Tint rear windows
Front and rear light guards
Britpart sidestep / slider bars
Anything I have forgotten on my mods list

Took delivery yesterday. Of course on the 100 mile drive back home, I got my first error message: the orange suspension light.... Great start. I'll hook her up to my OBD reader to see what faults I get, but expect the compressor to be shot.
Anyhow, have booked her for a service at my local land rover Indy next week, so it will be fixed. In the mean time I will have the rear windows tinted today and have order some small stuff online to get the mods going.

Drove by my indie this afternoon to get a first assessment. 1st service is gonna be expensive with at least a propshaft & compressor
On the upside, I am quite happy with the Darth Vader look created by the 5% limo tint. The tinting guy advised this over the 20% tinting, because my car has a light interior. Is quite dark in the evening, but similar to SWMBO's Lancia Voyager.
Good luck fella. you may need it at some point. but still a great car

If you knew how expensive road tax was in Holland on a D3, you'd think he's going to need more than luck.
Liam, can I ask, how much is the road tax on your new car in NL?Mods:
Front Fogs + Halos
FBH Remote Control
The 1st Ever RRS Modded Grill
Garmin Nuvi + D4 Surround + Reversing Camera.
D4 Steering Wheel.
Rear Boot Spoiler.
Twin Brake Lights.
Wing Mirror Indicator Repeaters.
Long Roof Rails

I'm not scared, I'm outta here.

Narpy, I try to forget about these things!
Seriously, road tax for a heavy diesel 4x4 is about 250€ per month (roughly 175 pounds at the current rate.

I'm glad I'm not having to add that amount to my monthly outgoings! that's a shocking price to pay a month
