Belts (amongst everything else!) are only expensive if you go to a main dealer My D3 Build Thread

Correct Mike! I think my local LR dealer was around £700 for the belts if I remember correctly!D3 TDV6 XS

Cheers Darren! I was in two minds whether to get the new wheels or not, then I realised what little green laning I actually did as I wouldn't be going offroad with these on, even more so with sport tyres on! Glad I got them now, just got to get rid of the old ones! Hoping to get the D4 light clusters all round next, the. I'll be happy!D3 TDV6 XS

Still undecided on the grille, tempted to either get a black one or go back to the original green.

Why not mod your original grill, that way you'll have the best of both worlds.

Modded grills are much more subtle than the blingy chrome E-Bay jobbies.
Or what about a Tonga grill with a D4 insert ( picture shamelessy robbed from Beanies Gallery )

The 1st Ever RRS Modded Grill
Garmin Nuvi + D4 Surround + Reversing Camera.

They look pretty cool actually! I'm still debating whether to ditch the chrome all together, still in two minds if it fits in with the rest been gloss black...D3 TDV6 XS

Evening folks,
Afew more popshots from past and present.
Sadly the green goddess pictured in the previous posts is no longer with me after a little bump that sold it down the river. I picked up the new mean machine last week I've wasted little time putting it infront of the lens!
