Good times, good times...
After 11 years of ownership and about 65,000 miles, I have sold my D3 SE. I have been fortunate in that I only really had to deal with maintenance jobs or well known issues with well known fixes. It's been a great family car. In fact it has been THE family car as far as my kids are concerned, as they were 11 and 14 when we got it.
Thanks for all the help and advice over the years. Good times indeed. I am now enjoying my D5 HSE, but will always be looking out for any Cairns Blue D3.

Interesting post Andy, I too have just sold my own D3, also manual and also Cairns Blue.
I gave it a good cleaning over Easter and it looked just superb, ready for its new owner which it will have this Friday. After 8 years of ownership, it's been generally very reliable but keeping on top of any maintenance is vital with these cars.Mods:
Front Fogs + Halos
FBH Remote Control
The 1st Ever RRS Modded Grill
Garmin Nuvi + D4 Surround + Reversing Camera.
D4 Steering Wheel.
Rear Boot Spoiler.
Twin Brake Lights.
Wing Mirror Indicator Repeaters.
Long Roof Rails
