United Kingdom 2005 Discovery 3 TDV6 SE Manual Java BlackDiscovery 3

Dn't worry too much about the colour comments, if you're considering it then you like it so it's irelevant Rolling Eyes

For me I'd go with the cheaper option because, as you're asking the question the SE extras are obviously not top of your list.

With me it had to be an SE, I just love the toys and would have been sat in the seat thinking about what I didn't have had I gone with a lower spec.

For the record, the prices match those in the UK so you're on the ball with the prices.
Good luck with whatever you decide Thumbs Up

2005 Discovery 3 TDV6 HSE Auto Santorini BlackDiscovery 3

Thanks fellas -

Last thing the car will be doing a bit of towing (horseboxes and RIBs)

In the experience of the folk on here is the manual (or indeed the auto) more susceptible to failure if it does a lot towing? - some horror stories about clutches and flywheels failing regularly but as with everything to do with Landies not sure where truth ends and hyperbole starts (...this forum it seems - great responses!)

I would choose the auto over the manual everytime. Towing is a breeze and so controllable, as is off road driving.

Auto every time, if you are towing even more so.
