Bonatti Grey TDV6 7-Seater!
Yes very reluctantly indeed I am having to sell the D3 A bigger house and mortgage have taken priority over my cherished motor and so it will have to go. I would like it to go to a good home so if anyone is interested or knows someone who might be then please get in touch. I am looking for offers around the £25k mark. It has had no electronic problems at all since new, no bongs, or dongs except the normal ones It did have a problem selecting reverse recently (manual box) but this was rectified under warranty and is absolutely fine now.

Commiserations. I'm also going through the bigger house / mortgage challenge (relocating up near you!) but hoping to hang on to the D3 if at all possible. We'll still need cars in the new house, after all!Discovery 3 tdv6 7 seat Buckingham Blue

Deepest condolences mate! I couldn't survive three days without mine last week
Fortunately we did the bigger house / mortgage thing four years ago and the repayments on my D3 means we're staying put

2 x EGR Blanked. (I did that )
At least this house we saw has its own field, hmmmm private off-road course, maybe???
Having the same thoughts- although you'd need a good few acres. Anything less would just turn to mud immediately.
I suppose we could always settle for quad bikes and smaller size field.Discovery 3 tdv6 7 seat Buckingham Blue

You'd need several hundred acres for a course not to turn into a quagmire and even then most would be undriveable in the winter.DS3 TDV6 HSE - Silver with Alpaca (old one) Gone

(Smug face on) Even though I'd like to live in a bigger house, SWMBO is a serious homebird to the point where she wouldn't ever want to move off the road we live on - so my D3 is safe (until the one-and-only big extended detached comes up for sale, that is) Steve N | 21MY Defender | 08MY Discovery 3 (history) | 06MY Discovery 3 (ancient history)

I'll tell the missus that I tried my best to sell it but nobody wants them so we can't afford to move to the fancy house after all 2020 BMW X1 18d XDrive X-Line Auto
