Evening all,
I have decided on getting a D3 as a toy when not in the D5.
Can anyone tell me, (to save me the research)  
- Is commercial or non commercial cheaper to insure.
- When was the non commercial cheaper tax period?
- I assume commercial has always been a lower tax?
Lastly, I am looking for around £3000, im fortunate that it would be a toy and if it breaks it can sit on the drive till I fix it as I have the other car. Would you look at Manual or Auto?
Is there a year known to be riddled with issues?

Expensive private tax started in March 2006. About an extra £200
2007 are particularly prone to oil pump failure. So budget for replacement

Ok so a 2005 would be ideal or a 2005/06 commercial
Probably leaning towards commercial but wonder if insurance will be higher MY2023 Discovery 5 R-Dynamic 3.0
