[For Sale] 2007 D3 LHD (left hand drive) 25k miles !!
Thinking of selling the old girl, nothing wrong with her at all but I currently have three cars (and a fourth on the way) so I need the space... that said I may end up buying (and please don't hate me) an RRS.
She is 2007, first registered in 2009 and bought by an Oil Company (Telsa) as their VIP collection vehicle in North Africa, so she has spent most of her life in a warm dry environment, and has (and yes I can prove this!!) virtually no rust on her whatsoever... this is also the reason for the very low mileage (40,000km) of which 14,000 have been done since last August when I bought her for my work in Finland. Re-registered in the UK in 2016 and the logbook shows 1 former keeper.
So what has been done so far:
New rear brake discs and pads GFV
New handbrake cable and switch
Sept 2017
Timing belts changed including tensioners (Disco Mikey)
Engine Oil pump changed, water pump checked (ok) (Disco Mikey)
Full service (air filter, oil filter, oil (fully synthetic), fuel filter, pollen filters, hinges and locks greased)
New winter tyres (6mm still on all), Vredstein Wintrac Extreme
New spare wheel and winter tyre (unused)
New LR rubber rear mat & LR dog guard/Cargo barrier
Side steps fitted & Mud flaps fitted
Nightbreaker H7 bulbs plus LED bulbs in interior lights (front) and number plate lights
D4 style front grille with New LR badge
Oct 2017
Front arm bush replacement with Powerflex bushes (front and rear)
Front arm lower ball joint replacement
Front anti roll bar bushes replaced with Powerflex bushes
Four wheel laser alignment
Front and rear differential oil changed
Coolant system flush and refill with higher spec for Finland (-35)
Nov 2017
Replaced window seal strips
Purchased original winch (Warn XP9.5 and remote cable) available by separate negotiation
Also have a removable tow bar (new - unused with two keys)
Am part way through (don't ask about roofers) fitting towbar electrics (two socket)
A Mantec sump guard (still in packaging from forum member)
New set of Britpart rubber mats (for LHD!!)
And various other spares that will end being listed on here when I get chance
Bad bits: she has had a new drivers door before my ownership (paint is ok but not perfect) and has a cracked dash due to being in the sun too much (never have that issue in Scotland), both of which I was happy to live with as she runs so well (out and back to Finland with no issues !).
Would make an idea holiday car for the run to France, or perfect for those skiing holidays in the Alps... or if you work abroad as I often do then a perfect run around... I'm currently trying to load images but being in rural Scotland I have so far only managed 5% whilst typing this !!
I will try adding the images later as this is taking forever... any questions please reply or drop me a PM
Looking for around £13k... as LHD very rare here and even more expensive abroad... an LHD HSE with more miles on sold last month on Autotrader for £17,995 !!!
