Just some helpful advice for those looking to buy a 2005 D3.
In 2005, the Land Rover factory sent out a number of Base 7 Seater models with "S" badges on the tailgate, instead of no model badge.
This has lead to confusion on the second hand market as a number of these D3s are being advertised and sold as being "S" models when they are not.
The easiest way to identify a genuine "S" is from the additional equipment over the Base 7 Seater
Differences in equipment
An "S" has as standard from the factory, over and above the Base 7 Seater:
- 18" alloy wheels
- Rear PDC
- Cruise Control
- Xenon Headlights (2005 model year)
- Headlamp washer jets
- Front and rear mudflaps
- Cold climate pack:
- Heated front screen
- Heated front and row 2 seats
- Heated washer jets
- Hi-ICE pack:
- Hi-line in-dash 6 CD changer head unit
- 8 speaker Harman Kardon audio
- Steering wheel audio controls
- Bright pack (2006 model year):
- Front fog lamps
- Auto dimming (electrochromatic) rear view mirror
- Automatic headlights
- Rain sensing wipers
- Puddle and footwell lights
Although some of these were available as factory fitted options on a Base 7 Seater or can be retrofitted or added as accessories, the main pointer to identify a Base 7 Seater is the audio system which is fitted.
The Hi-line head unit could not be specified as an option on the Base 7 Seater and is a very involved retrofit.
Head units
Hi-line
Hi-line stereo head unit ("S" model):
Notes: phone button on right hand side, phone-type alphanumeric keypad to left of screen, marked 6CD-465 above screen.
Low-line
Low-line stereo head unit (Base 7 Seater):
Notes: 1-6 buttons underneath screen, no phone button
