Please see the Issues Section on the disco3 forum.
Most reported issues with Discovery 3 have been fixed either by the Enhancement Program issued by Land Rover in 2006 or have been developed out on the factory floor. MY07 onwards vehicles so far have been very reliable with only a small percentage of problems.
ARB Bushes - Anti Roll Bar bushes (ARB) also remain an issue for vehicles that are taken off road. These seem to need replacing at circa 50K miles onwards. Both the front and rear bushes become compressed and cause clunking. Many of the high mileage D3 owners on the Forum have also had to have these replaced.
EPB - The main issue still outstanding is with the Electronic Park Brake (EPB). See EPB Fit For Purpose Poll
Fog lamps - Front Fog lamp Failure is very common but can be easily rectified if you wish to do it yourself.
Headlight Condensation - Headlight Condensation can build up. There is a TSB (No.LA417-002V3, 15 February 2005) for this issue, but not all instances are covered. See the TSB here.
Suspension Clunks - A loud 'Clunk' in the front suspension when going over potholes, and also when applying the brakes sharply can be caused by worn lower wishbone bushes.
Tailgate struts - The loose tailgate strut issue still requires periodic checking on earlier models.
