2007 Discovery 3 TDV6 XS Manual Tonga Green

My personal opinion is that the early ones say an SE is good and the crank case bolts don't sheer the spec on the early SE's were good

The latter ones are nice colour coded newer bumpers good spec and the all important strengthened crank case bolt

The mid term XS for instance was pretty poor with no Nav or leather and the crank case bolts snap !

You can see where this is going can't you ? Only dead fish go with the Flow !

how early SE 05? crank case bolts

as for tax i see some are so much cheaper than pre 06 that, it would take a few years to make a difference. and also the V8S are very cheap.
