LR D3 Metropolis.

Hi, just thought I would introduce myself. I bought this nice D3 Metrpolis on Sunday. First LR. Heard a million horror stories, so we'll see how things develop.

I believe it used to belong to a forum member on here.

Still looking good I think. If you didn’t get all the receipts PM me - I think I still have the electronic copies. It should serve you well if you keep on top of the maintenance. We had many happy miles in her. There are two rules for success,

Hi, firstly thanks for the reply.
I bought WP06PVJ on Sunday in a "panic buy" after the demise of my old pick up. It look stunning and drove superb. But after reading all the horror stories with regards to D3's I'm now wondering if I done the right thing!

Could you please clarify when the gearbox oil was changed? It now runs GY Duramax tyres which are slightly noisey but no doubt will serve us well in the Scottish winters.

But if you could forward me WP06PVJ's maintenance thst would be very much appreciated.
Kind regards
Stevie

Excellent.
Thanks.
Very comprehensive service history. I will endeavour to be as thorough as yourself.

Car still drives beautifully, lovely and smooth with plenty of power for my needs. The car has obviously been well looked after which gives me some sort of solice among the sea of Disco failures!!!@
