D3 workshop manual

[Nomad9]

Hi Forumites,
Recently purchased a D3 S TDV6 and I'm trying to track down a workshop manual of some description. Any format will do, book, .pdf, CD anything will do. I can't find one anywhere, anybody got any ideas. Looking at servicing, lifting and a bull bar, nothing to drastic.
Also how do owners with a similar model go fitting drawers? The bolt to let the spare down is where the drawers would go, I'm sure this has been sorted in the past, I just couldn't find any threads that gave me the right answers.
Thanks in anticipation.

As far as I know, GTR is the only place at the moment you'll find a manual.

I've known a few people to fit drawers (and I borrowed a set once), but all of them have managed to mount the spare tyre on the back bumper - thus solving the bolt access problem. No one wants to try and drop a spare, then suck back up into the void a smushed flat tyre while lying in the middle of an ant pile.

The trick with draws and the spare is to mount a socket with an extension bar permanently. You will need a hole in the draws to allow the long extension to reach up to the top of the drawer so you can use a ratchet to wind it down/up.

There is a page with pics on DISCO3.CO.UK - Dedicated to Discovery 3 and LR3 Owners and Enthusiasts (http://www.disco3.co.uk) somewhere.

Cheers, Steve

Scott,
I subscribed to the GTR site last night, fantastic site. Very useful, thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

[Scouse]

Good going Marty.
I don't know what sort of access the 'public' have but I use it every day for work & find it quite good.
The DDW (warranty) section is a right pain though :mad:.


One downside is that UK tend to do their upgrades at their night time which often means it's down in our day time :(.
it doesn't happen too often though.

As Dullbird found when she was trying to use it - her paid 24 hour access was severely disrupted.

A lot of the stuff I wanted for the P38A was in PDF format but the latest workshop manual and ETM aren't. They are designed for on-line browsing, not downloading for later use..

Deliberately I would think. :mad:

Save them as screen shots....will take ages though.

Guys, I have worked hard on a few sites, and have made some cd's for both 1995 P38, and 2006 Disco3..May be able help a few of you guys

[CaverD3]

Cool Boofrmb. :D
That must have taken you a while. :eek:
How much of it did you get?

[Boofrmb]

Complete manual on both. Disco3 has a few more items, such as connector location and electrical wiring.. and yep it did take a long time..

The connector info for the P38A is on the RAVE CD-ROM

Good stuff about the D3! :)

[Boofrmb]

p38arover.

The P38 manual is from alldata, which was a great site, not sure if they have Disco 3.

Rob

[p38arover]

The P38A manual is readily available from a number of sites - including this one. The D3 is the new prize!

[Boofrmb]

No Probs, so if any one would like a copy, let me know, but its 2006 model, but not much has changed.

Rob

[David King]

Rob,

David King

[Boofrmb]

Rob

[norto]

Boofrmb
Can you put me down for a copy.

[Boofrmb]

No probs norto, will require an address, just sent me an email.. but is there any one with a site, that we maybe able to place it on. its around 160 - 180Megs from memory.

Rob

[CaverD3]

Sailing close to wind as it is.
I would not post it on a site.
I don't think LR would be impressed and I think a hosting site would remove it before LR tell them to.

[norto]

Boofrmb
How do i find your email address.
EDIT
Found it

[Desert Traveller]

Like all owners, I'd like a copy. Instead Boofrmb posting CD's all over Oz, I'd be happy to get a copy from someone in Brisbane to copy.
Has anyone in Brisbane got a copy yet (and that they are willing to loan out for an hour or so)?

[300+]

Sounds like a great excuse for a Brisbane pub meet.

I'll bring a CD burner.

Steve

[CaverD3]

I could give some out at the next Sydney Disco3 meet.:D
I've PM'd you Boofrmb.
Good job. :D

[Boofrmb]

Hi All, I will not be puttig it on any site, and as it may be illegal, I have to say no to all of you guys that may have wanted it.. Im very very Sorry. If require why, please PM.

Rob

[Neil P]

Had a visitor ?
