I have decided to sell my excellent Disco 3 which I have owned since new; purchased as a pre-reg from Marshalls, Melton Mowbray on 4th May 2009.
The only reason for sale is that I want to get a very late Disco4 Landmark whilst there are still some available.
Bournville (Brown)
Under 87k miles
6 Speed manual
First registered 31st March 2009 (09 plate) - on private number at present which will be retained
Mot expires March 2018
2 keys
Non smoker’s car
7 Almond leather seats & Ebony carpets
6th and 7th seats have hardly ever been used - certainly less than 10 journies
Equipment includes:-
Xenon headlights
LR SatNav
Harmon Kardon 6 CD changer
Front heated seats
Heated steering wheel.
Power fold mirrors heated
Auto dip rear mirror
Auto headlamps
Auto wipers
Heated front screen
Heated screen washers
Cruise Control
Bluetooth
Rear parking sensors
Front fog lamps
Remote control for Fuel Burning Heater
Boot space protective cover
Almost new B F Goodrich All Terrain TA KO Tyres plus
Full size matching spare wheel and unused tyre
RLD spare wheel protector
Extended roof rails
Front grill by Beanie
D4 LED rear lights
BAS remap - black box & cables included
Last annual service & MoT was by Guy Salmon at 27/03/2017 @ 83,965 miles
Current mileage : 86,500 - this will slowly rise until sold
Full Landrover service history - all done by Guy Salmon, Portsmouth. Between each annual service Mark West, West 4x4, has done an oil & filter change.
The oils in the gearbox, transfer box & both differentials were changed in September 2013 at 48k miles.
A replacement oil pump was fitted, and both belts changed by Guy Salmon on 18th May 2015 at 69,930 miles.
The car runs very smoothly and has never let me down; everything works as it should.
Only issues, which I have not addressed are the heated steering wheel has just, today, stopped working & the near side heated seat doesn’t work.
Detailed records since new. Overall fuel consumption, brimmed to brimmed 25.4 mpg, best in last 10k miles 31.2 mpg.
The body /paint is very good for a car of this age no dings or dents, but the inevitable bramble rash. I have not had it valeted, or “tarted up” for sale. as a matter of choice, but a good valet would have it looking nearly like new.
Upholstery & carpets are excellent; the latter have been protected by LR mats from new.
Price £9,800; at this price I will include a set of roof bars & roof box
The car can be inspected at my home between Petersfield & Portsmouth.
Please send me a personal message for my contact details & any additional information.
More photographs will be added soon !

That's a lovely original car, a good purchase for someone. DS3 TDV6 HSE - Silver with Alpaca (old one) Gone
DS3 TDV6 HSE- Silver with Alpaca (new one) Gone
D4 HSE Lux - Montalcino Red Gone
Porsche Cayenne V8 Diesel S
Nice D3 that
Often have an internal argument with myself as to why I didn't go for a late 4
See you changed the oil pump did it have the later pump or the weaker one interesting for the 09 owners such as myself
Have you found a suitable 4 yet bud

Having seen this car, I can vouch for it (should the off-forum sale fall through).
A very original late D3 - in a rare colour - that's been impeccably well maintained by Nigel.
I do miss my manual D3.
Steve2021 BMW iX3 Premier Edition in Carbon Black ⚡️🔌
2019 Škoda Kodiaq 2.0 Tdi 190 DSG Sportline in Quartz Grey. Excellent vehicle. Gone.
2017 Discovery Sport HSE Auto in Carpathian Grey and Ebony Leather. Modern JLR Junk. Gone.
2007 Discovery 3 TDV6 S Manual in Zermatt Silver with Ebony Cloth (143k) Gone, but now patrolling the Asia section of the West Midlands Safari Park!
Just a comment...
Bournville is a cracking colour - you see these only occasionally.....rare & unusual colours are my thing entirely.
I was tempted to swap mine a few years in...I've the original Lugano Teale....also rarish.
Looks a very good buy for some lucky buyer..BREXIT - done properly.
Right now ...We need Government - not Politics
Save the Dipstick Flagbearer-keep it simple, less likely to fail campaign-agenda items:Starting Handles, Acetylene Lamps.
Founder: Dipsticks-R-Us Inc
D3 HSE-perfectly formed, passenger friendly...has real DIPSTICK
Jag XK-but sadly no DIPSTICK...HUGE design fault
FL2 has DIPSTICK..."real comfort in rear seats"
VW Golf wondermobile (?)..has real DIPSTICK
Morris Minor..original DIPSTICK technology..and a real KEY.
It looks as if I have a deal - I'll know tomorrow.
I'll be sad to let this one go, someone potentially has a bargain it's a great car. But I have a late, ex JLR management Landmark in my sights, and it will be a 75 birthday present to me from me.

Sad to sell what has been a great & very reliable D3.
Will be posting bits & pieces for sale, and wanted, in the course of the next few days.
