Been looking myself, chap, still looking......
Perhaps you might want to give AndrewS a PM and visit him at Boughrood - best place for a D3 in the Midlands
Get yourself a sticker Peanut - might just see you around

Hi everybody
I bought my land rover TDV6Se last September brand new on a 57 plate. It has got to be the very best car that I have ever owned without doubt. Nothing has gone wrong with it at all,and it is doing about 35-38 mpg on BP Ultimate.
I spent over two thousand pounds on dealer fit extras,chrome pack,side steps tow bar etc.The car is finished in Java black with Apaca leather,it has just done 11,000 totally trouble free miles.
The sad news is that I will have to sell it very soon and i was wondering what to ask for it in this market?Any ideas?
It hasn't even collected any supermarket dings yet
Bob My Discovery 3 is the best car that I have ever owned.I bought it brand new in Sept 2007 and NOTHING has gone wrong with it at all?????

Hi to all
Hope i'm on the right page to put a question forward. Have a disco 3 and cant open thr tail gate,have tried pushing the lock and unlock buttons and holding for 3 seconds as manual suggests but to no avail. You can hear the servo working in the tailgate but thats it. any suggestions on how to get access to see the problem?

Pete - bit confusing, but you need to hold both lock and unlock button on the dash and also push/pull the rear door at the same time ISTR......
then i guess its down to the dealer for some warranty work
cheers

Yes you can all speak to me and say hello proper.
As of today I am the proud owner of of a 54 plate Discovery 3 TDV HSE - i have driven it from Sheffield to Eastbourne and so far love it to bits. I now have the unenviable task of selling my 04 Freelander HSE at a reasonable price - and if you know anyone who is looking for a Porsche 968 cabriolet then I think that might be going too.

Hi All,
Have just bought my first Landrover and am looking forward to learning about using the disco off road. Have had the car for 4 weeks and have enjoyed every minute, I think this is one decision I won't regret making. After having accidentally come across the web site and reading some of the topics posted I couldn't resist joining. I look forward to exchanging views and picking the brains of the experienced members.
Regards, Trev
