I'm thinking of updating to a D3 in the next 12 months or so. Is there a year model in the D3s I should be looking at ? Older will be cheaper of course, but is there a model update that was a improvement. As in 2003 for D2 which got the centre diff lock.
There are a lot of variables but I went for a post '07 model as I had read that they sorted out a lot of the computer problems by then - and so far mine has been very well behaved...
cheers
Hey ade, i too am starting to look at getting a d3 instead of my d2.
What have you set your sights on??
Cheers goose

Is it a MY07 model? If so, check the brake and HPFP recalls were completed - or your opinion will change! ;)Quote:

Brake recall: Land Rover
HPFP recall: Land Rover
Dealers will fix these for free - if they haven't been done.
Pretty sure you can enter your VIN in Topix to check if they were completed.

Why do disco owners need a diagnostic tool, and what is a DSC, and where do I find it?
Diagnostic tool required, because there are so many electronics on the D3/4 that it is just as important as a spanner or screwdriver if you have any intention of not relying 100% on a dealer or indie.Quote:
