Stew did the bolt just shear or did you over tighten it and it snapped?

Strike that^ just seen that the bolt sheared while driving, you must have been livid!! Glad you got it all sorted, what was the sat nav and sound issue in the end?

It sheared of , engine misted a beat then 2 mins later it just cut out the belt was fine , so a £3 bold was the problem but we learnt a lot about the D3 doing it our self wouldn't hesitate to to take it of again if I had to -------------------------------------------------

That looks nice being all clean
Always makes me wonder why the centre exhaust box out, straight through the exhaust and fit an extra fuel tank in the space to almost double the range of Disco, would help keep weight more even at the rear as well i guess and would be good for those overlanding and the like FFRR Owner, very nearly became a D3 owner
Test piloted a new D4 XS SDV6.. Gone and being forgotten i hope!!
