2008 Disco3 HSE
After having to sell my D4 last year (due to ridiculous mortgage rules) i have today placed a deposit on another disco.
I have quite got used to not having finance payments(especially on a car that will only do around 3-4000 miles a year) so decided to buy an older D3 outright. Hopefully the missus will drive this one
Its a 2008 (08 ) D3 HSE in buckingham blue. Picking it up on monday but it looks a well looked after motor and apart from a few small niggles and a good valet should make a nice car.
Will post some pics when i get it

Nope, since selling my D4 i have had a L322 Supercharged, an Audi RS6 and just sold the land cruiser i took in px for the SC. So its been a few months of discolessness (a new word i have invented )
The pull is strong

That's what I thought Euan. By running the Rs6 and supercharged range rover for the last 6 months a discovery will seem like a Nissan leaf by comparison
A pair of front brake discs for the Rs6 cost more than a full set of discs/pads and tyres for the disco Previous Discos
