My 2005 HSE

Hi there,
just thought id share some pictures of my D3 that i purchased in February this year... Ive had Discovery 2's before never a d3, so after selling My audi S4 (i know, i know!) i took the plunge and bought this.

i bought it knowing it had a few faults, first being the air suspension compressor was goosed... so fitted an AMK compressor... Ended up like this;
