Well took the D3 for it's test today and I'm pleased to say she past with flying colours for the 3 year on the trot, so I'm well pleased.

Mine went in on Friday and failed on rear brake pipe over the back axle and a couple of flexies(?). Still, it is nine and a half years old and stands outside. It's done 83,000 miles so I'm not too surprised. Plus down here in the deepest depths of Cornish farming country the lanes are more like fields! 2007 Disco3 2.7 tdv6 SE

Good luck with yours Fitzy, just got mine up to 151600 mls, all brake pipes copper greased since I've owned it and keep it well serviced, no expense spared, and she's never let me down. Must say it's the best discovery I've owned, had a series 1 and 2 series 2 and this is by far the best.

Hi Andy,
It's having the new pipes fitted Monday and Tuesday, starting Monday afternoon, so should be ready complete with MOT Tuesday or Wednesday. The garage is where I bought the Disco a year ago and they've given me the use of a courtesy car in the meantime. The MOT fitter came and explained everything to me. Their workshop staff seem to be pretty clued up regarding Discos. And the receptionist, Amie, is gorgeous so I quite enjoy my visits!! 2007 Disco3 2.7 tdv6 SE

Geoff, pleased to hear you have found a brightside to your dealer visits let's hope they get it sorted out ok for you.
I also hope you have avoided the worst of all the flooding down here? We were in Penzance yesterday and there was a lot of standing water around.Andy

Andy,
It's just gone 11.45 and garage has rung to say D3 is all done and ready. Whoopee!!
Apparently they couldn't work on a BMW on Saturday as they had been supplied the wrong part, so worked on my Disco instead.
Floods.... Yes, I live on the side of a valley with the road at the top of the drive. I had the top of the drive raised to stop flooding caused by blocked drains. However this time the rain was so excessive that the water over flowed my raised section of drive. Great.... now got to re lay the washed out aggregate!!!!!
Off to collect my lovely Disco now. Complete with nice new MOT. 2007 Disco3 2.7 tdv6 SE

Hello Geoff,
Glad it is all sorted and returned, although sorry to hear about the rain damage.
Mine is in now and I must say I am enjoying the 8 speed gearbox and everyone on here is right about there being a big difference.Andy
