    Odd, I put the VIN (from rego papers) for my MY12 D4 SE into TOPix and got "VIN not found"... not sure if I did it before or after subscribing.

    Maybe you put a 0 in instead of a O or vice versa, otherwise the VIN on the rego is wrong. Then go into service manual on dash without motor running, to display the VIN.

    Just a quick update, I went to have a look at the car on the weekend and have decided against buying it.

    Nothing major wrong with it that I could see, condition was to be expected for 240k. Seemed to run ok on the short drive I took it on. The tyres are pretty noisy though!

    Had definitely been used off road, plenty of mud evidence underneath. Interior was all leather including the very rear seats, button missing of the radio, what looked like a cigarette burn in one of the coin trays. One of the headlamps had condensation on the inside which might mean it’s had a bump and is no longer a sealed unit??

    I checked the VIN on topix and it had no outstanding campaigns. The service history didn't cover the full 240k, ended at 135k I think. I'm also not 100% sure the service history was for this car.

    One thing I have learnt is to not post a link to the car you are interested in on a forum! The guys told me had loads of interest in it and showed me the stats from carsguide. This one had waaaaaaaaay more views than the others he listed on there so he really wasn’t interested in negotiating the price. Also wasn’t happy with the price offered on the trade in vehicle.

    Thanks again for all the pre-purchase feedback, the search continues………..

    2005 LAND ROVER DISCOVERY 3 SE for sale in NSW - Sydney $20,000 6 SP AUTOMATIC SUV used @ carsguide.com.au

    Wondering if anyone knows anything about the history of this one or has had a look at it themselves?

    Should I be concerned about the kms?

    Thanks

    I test drove that one on Sunday.
    I would be a tad careful with the Trans on that one it slams through the gears regularly.
    The Coopers tires are very noisy even at 60k.
    Interior is good.
    Only has one key, dealer says another is on the way.
    Cant say I was that impressed with the way it went, it was ok but wasnt that much quicker than my P38.
    It has a few worn bushes in the suspension it bangs a fair bit.
    Over all it was enough to turn me off the D3 and to go for an L322 again.
    BUT........for 20k it seems a fair buy.
