That would be "The Crown" down by the docks then? A vaccine does not stop you catching a virus, or passing it on, or getting ill from it, really ill. It does reduce the likelyhood of you dying when really, really ill. Stay Alive - KEEP AWAY FROM PEOPLE.

Maybe filthy Fosters spilled onto the steering wheel while towing his caravan is what's caused the steering wheel to look like it has psoriasis?
My D3 has just been in for a mega warranty tidy up before it ran out and now I have a nice new shiny wheel

Seat and steering wheel suggest a little more than 95,000 miles. That or the Merc-loving wife has a thing for chainmail. My guess is ex highways or ex plod and closer to 195,000 I know it's not considered "kind" to say no these days, but no. Just no, ok? And if it's not ok, still no.

Appears to have the runlock lamp by the EPB switch plate, so I'd guess highways too.

My 05 S has 95k on the clock and has been used daily in our constructor business. The drivers seat doesn't look anything like that and i replaced the steering wheel at 90k but it was only sticky not worn like that.
This looks like it has done many more miles and the fact that the paperwork is not available would suggest he that the history is a different story to reality.

ExHighways Agency, EU57UHK patrols the M1 / A42 area around East Midlands Airport. Seat will be worn because they get in and out every two miles or so along the Motorway, as opposed to twice a day like most people. You can ask the seller the serial number of the latest MOT test and do an online history check, also try Land Rover see what recalls/warranty its had etc and the miles if you are unhappy with the miles recorded / think the condition does not match the vehicle.

DEFINITELY been clocked or is a clone.
Went through Bristol auctions in December 2009 with 155,000 miles on the clock
http://www.disco3.co.uk/forum/topic42316.html?highlight=uhr
Grease Monkey wrote:I've just checked Manheims catalogue for next week and there is an ex HA Discovery 3 at their Bristol site on 1st December 2009. Details are: Reg, EU57 UHR, 155K miles, first registered 07/12/07.
According to the condition report there are several small dents and scrapes around the exterior and a few holes etc. in the interior trim, as expected I guess. It has a full size spare and all tyres are listed as 'acceptable', there is also a fixed towbar fitted.
Anyone thinking of buying EU57UHR from ebay buyer greenroseman http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/LANE-ROVER-DISCOVERY...231144cca9 be warned - the mileage has been "adjusted"
Note that the seller may be unaware of the genuine mileage. I know it's not considered "kind" to say no these days, but no. Just no, ok? And if it's not ok, still no.
