No major issues at all, even no suspension droppings, etc... I had problems with starter motor, which doesn't want crank when hot - problem with worn brushes. Starter has been changed to spare one in Pskov Engine and gearbox shields now shall be alligned by big sledgehammer Fuel tank shield too, one of fuel level sensors may is blocked somehow, i have wrong fuel level indication on IPC. Cooling radiator was full of dirt, i washed it and thats all.Discovery3 TDV8 HSE
