MOT to 6/22
I bought this disco from another forum member in 2017 with 139,000 miles on the clock. This was my second D3 (and 5th Land Rover). The previous owner bought the car in 2009 from the 1st owner at 55,000 miles (initially leased by the first owner and then registered into his own name, so 3 former keepers on the V5). I have just bought a late D4, so the D3 has to go
Comes with stamped service history and LOTS of paperwork to evidence all of the above and more
The car has been used but not abused. The bodywork is in generally in very good condition for a car of its age, with a few age typical nicks here and there. There is a small tear on the side of the front passenger seat (see photos) but the interior and seats are otherwise in really good condition with no significant marks or tears
Usual HSE spec with xenons, Heated front & rear seats (all working), ice cold aircon. Aftermarket screens in the rear of the front headrests (the cables aren’t connected to anything and I’ve never used them)
Also with
Double tow pack electrics
Mantec steering guard
Privacy glass in rear
Upgraded Bluetooth unit
I had the alloys refurbished shortly after I bought the car. I also have a full set of RRS sport alloys, which came with the car and I’m happy to include in the sale
Other important points:
**I had the suspension compressor replaced last year. The red suspension light came on a few weeks ago and the suspension went down and I have since had a new compressor fitted under warranty. The suspension is functioning normally (and the car is retaining it's height) however the red suspension light is still illuminated. I am told the suspension probably needs to be recalibrated/reset but I’m not a mechanic and don’t want to mess around with it and potentially make things worse
The airbag light comes on intermittently. This is a known issue with early D3’s (both of mine have had it) usually fixed with a new clockspring or a wiggle of the cables under the drivers seat (I will throw in a couple of used clocksprings too)
There is a crack across the base of the windscreen – I’ve just spotted this when taking the photos – not sure how it got there!
***I also have a non-BT IID Tool which is paired to the vehicle and which I’m happy to include in the sale if the buyer pays the full asking price***
This is has been a 100% faithful and reliable car for me and has never let me down
Price is GBP 2850, which seems fair for a looked after D3 of this age and mileage with lots of paperwork and most of the big jobs sorted

A fabulous looking car and a fair price. I suspect this will get grabbed fairly quickly.
I'd have bought it myself if I hadn't have just yesterday handed over nearly the same price just to get my 2005 HSE through the MOT...!2022 BMW i4 M50. Bought Oct 2022. 10,200 miles and counting...
2014 BMW 435d convertible. Bought July 2021. 58,000 miles and counting...
2005 Discovery 3 HSE Auto. Bought Feb 2019. 169,000 miles and counting...
2009 Freelander 2 XS Manual. Bought Sep 2013. SOLD Aug 2021 (already regretted!)
This is exactly what I’m looking for.
Gonna be a week or 2 before I get chance to get over, highly confident it’ll be gone by then

Character has PM’d me and I’m waiting for a response, so I’m obliged to give him 1st dibs. If I don’t hear back within the next 24 hours, assume the car is still available.
To answer an earlier post, I don’t think the oil pump has been changed - certainly not under my ownership and I’ve not come across any receipts handed over the previous owner
I’ve added a few more photos to the original post90 2 1/4 petrol (gone)
90 200 tdi (gone)
90 TD5 CSW (gone)
05 Disco3 HSE buck blue (gone)
05 Disco3 HSE zambezi silver (current)
15 HSE luxury (current)

I don’t suppose this is still available? You can add me to the list of interested parties.
