The dealer I bought mine from didn't list it in anything like as comprehensive a manner as that. Better just go out and check that it does actually have four doors as standard .... Laughing Wink

"CUT & PASTE" guys takes 10 seconds some like the detail but it WAS NOT an advert the interested party wanted to know the HSE spec and was not familiar with D3/4. Thumbs Up

Not having a go, by any means. On the contrary, the D3 you're selling in the other thread (which also featured this list) looks the dog's danglies, and will no doubt make a cracking vehicle for whoever buys it. It just made me chuckle a bit, that's all.

It's just that the posts I made looked a bit irrelevant and out of place as the thread developed. I just thought it was better off without them Thumbs Up

The car has issues...clunking from the front which suggests lower arm failure, tailgate doesn't open, I'm told the belts have been change but no service history, Inter cooler hose split and appears to be repaired using jubilee clips and a piece of pipe, Its 3 different shades of silver, holes in the rear cloth and odd lights cut into the rear bumper (im told it used to be a convoy vehicle..wide loads etc) badges in the wrong place and horrible Range Rover Sport wheels. however it is a 2009 vehicle showing 124k so at £6200 its cheap Very Happy


Remember this D3....Note the oddly placed lights on the rear bumper...here one i found on ebay that used to belong to the highways agency..same spec, same age but 270k..note the oddly placed rear lights on the bumper...

Hence its spookily missing history! Totally fraudulent and unfortunately not enough done about this type of thing.... Very Happy
But I'm sure it was probably just a 'faulty speedo head' which they amazingly forgot to mention when challenged..... Fookers! Sad

Well done on digging that up.

I has some something similar with a "1 owner, warranted mileage" dealer sale Volvo S80 with 60,000 on the clock recently. I checked the MoT's online before going to see it to find that the previous MoT showed 319,000 miles. The crooks are definitely out there.

It's interesting to see some of the gaps in the service history when it was a Highways Agency vehicle though.
