WOODY179 - HSE TDV6 Discovery
Ordered my replacement Discovery on Saturday. I was looking at three colours, Buckingham Blue, Cairns Blue and Zambezi Silver in the end I chose the Silver with ebony interior, thought this combination looked really well on the Discovery 3. Just had a phone call from my dealer and they've got the car already and I should be able to take delivery by the end of the week. The car is the 2006 model with privacy glass and tow pack. Im also having the side steps and rubbing strips fitted. Cant wait.1996 Discovery 1 300TDI ES Biarritz Blue, sold

Best of luck with it. It loooks well with the side steps. They make it easier to get in and out of and they are a great defence against women in multi story carparks who tend to open doors with all their strength when parked next to shiny new cars.

Coffeecup also found that the side steps stop the car sinking into the lake mud as well

I just need a large rectangle of Polystyrene as a bouyancy aid for the front, to stop it dipping quite so far below the water line. Coffeecup March 2005 TDV6 S - Tonga Green - Manual May 2008 TDV6 SE - Stornoway Grey - Auto Dec 2010 SDV6 XS - Galway Green - Auto

Picked the new Discovery up at lunch time today Fitted the mudflaps from my previous car onto it and also fitted the windscreen ticket holders (again removed from my previous car). The ticket holders only take a few minutes to fit and the mudflaps didnt take that long either - approx 5mins per wheel (you can just fit the mudflaps without removing the wheels. Also noticed that the pre heat and pre cool options had been removed from the settings menu.1996 Discovery 1 300TDI ES Biarritz Blue, sold
