My Dad got his D3 from new as a company car in 2005... retired in 2007 and bought the car from the company, kept it to 233,000 miles in Jan 2022 before passing it to me when he bought a second hand D4.
Think he still prefers the D3

So i think im deffo winning the award for longest kept from new now!
Just had it’s 10 year service (160k) but only done 108k now.
Its come back with a few advisories from the tech but overall he said it’s a really good car.
Going to need shortly.
- New discs and pads
- Propshaft centre bearing
- Inlet manifold is leaking
Also brake pipes are starting to show signs of corrosion.
Do i keep or is it finally time to move on??

Personally,keep it and get the bits sorted.
Unless there is something that leaps out as a replacement for the D4.
Cost of fixing that list will be a few months payments on a new car.
The D4 will have been paid off years ago.In loving memory of FA54WSK.
Rest well old friend, your work is done.
