Can we all request that Haynes do a manual for the Discovery 3? Just go onto the following and manually request that they start writting one.

They seem to be doing Loft Conversions and Todlers, but no Disco 3. How can this be so!

Done.
Should be ready by the time the warranty expires...
Do we request an "accessories add-on" chapter or two, sorry - twelve? CFB could co-author.  2006 D3 finally swapped for a 2016 D4 Graphite in Graphite grey. No mods

They do one on "woman". Brings a whole new meaning to "Service Manual".  2006 D3 finally swapped for a 2016 D4 Graphite in Graphite grey. No mods

I was thinking that the D3 site could do its own.
When anyone does some work, post the instructions and photographs.
Perhaps we could have a special section for this.
There are already some good posts on changing brake pads and fitting assessories.

Done. I wonder how long, on average, it takes for a Haynes manual to come out? Or is the D3 too posh for Haynes?

Haynes typically bring out a manual 3 years after a car is first introduced. So a D3 guide should be imminent. No longer a D3 owner but still subscribed to multiple threads!

Is that always the case? I know the D2 one only came out about year ago (after years' of pressure) - apparently there still wasn't enough demand from it. That was a good 8 years after the launch. I'm not holding my breath for a D3 one any time soon! 2020 SDV6 D5 HSE, Carpathian Grey +

I have asked for the manual.
I have received an answer from them. Not looking good at all:

Thank you for your recent enquiry regarding a Service and Repair Manual for your vehicle. Unfortunately, we do not produce a Manual for this particular model and have no plans to do so within the foreseeable future.
However, all customer requests are recorded and used in the decision making process of future Manual publications/updates.

As they start to come out of warranty, there will be more requirement potential, so I'm sure they'll look at some point in the future. Bodsys Brake Bible
