When to sell
90,000 miles.
so far
new clutch
new EPB
New front suspension somethings (to stop metal on metal wear - 600 quid)
Now I think the EGRs will need doing also.
Been servicing with dealer and wondering if its time to change or hold on. Just every time now is 600 - 800.
thoughts?

DONT service at dealers, blank the valves,service at a good indie,dont sell you will regret!! just run in at 90k
You could start servicing it yourself too. Oil+filters cost peanuts. As do brake pads.Current: Discovery 3 06MY (55 reg) HSE Auto Zambezi Silver Allisport Fast Road Intercooler, V8 Brakes, Silicone IC Hoses, EGRs Blanked, Remapped, De-Cat pipe, FBHIC

I have just purchased a discovery 3 with 105000 miles and I intend to do most work myself with the help of the forum. The previous owner spent almost £4000 at stratstone earlier this year having the cambelts changed a full service, 4 brand new tyres and some suspension parts!!

I agree use an indie....much better value as long as you trust them
