My New 08 model Disco 3 pic.
Hi Everybody,
Im new to this Disco 3 Malarky, i stumbled across Disco3.co.uk a week or so ago and have been very happy i did so since then as i was awaiting delivery of my own Disco 3. I have now takin delivery and must say i am more than pleased as it is a wonderful machine. Ok il not go on about how great they are anymore as everyone here is already very aware of that!!! Anyway i just wanted to say Hello and post a pic of my vehicle, it has been remapped for better performance which i must say is fantastic and i have changed the wheels for a set of 22" wheels and also added a couple of other origional Land Rover bits n pieces (side bars, chrome side vent, tinted widows etc). I know this might not be everybodys idea as alot of the people here are purely into the Discos Off road abilitys, but i thought i would post anyway as there is always somebody who likes a bit of bling (but only in moderation). Keep enjoying, speak soon!!!!!!!! P.S how do i make the picture larger in size for people to view, im probably doing something wrong???

Welcome puff14,
Most of us like the D3 for being good off road, but I think I speak for most of us in saying that we like it to look good too 8)

Hi Puff,
SO you've got an 08 Disco 3 and remapped it already ? Have you used the 08 mapping technology or the 09 one ?
And what is a .th file ?

Martrum,
I can honestly say i am not sure what technology was used in the remapping, i left that down to the company that did the remapping. I didnt ask to many questions, i just told them it was the 08 model and that was that!!!
Rogue,
Its running on Hankook 285/35/22, wheels and tyres were supplied by a local tyre company over here (N.I) called Kerrs tyres!!!
Thanks for replys!!!!

Dig the wheels Puff - I am running on 20" Range stormers, which are the biggest on a Disco in Bradford.
Where are you? Do you get taken for a drug dealer as I do in Bradford?

Lol, i suppose it might look a bit drug dealerish now you mention it Jowett110!!!! I am in Northern Ireland, just outside Belfast. There is 1 or 2 Discos about here with 22" on them but not to many. Loads of RRS with 22" and RRs` though!!! I guess it better to be one of few rather than one of many!!!
