| [For Sale] 2005 D3 TDV6 7 Seat Auto, Cairns Blue |
|
Bought in August 2016 (HPI and loan clear), and has been a fantastic family holiday car as well as my base for solo wild-camping trips to Scotland, the most recent of those earlier this month. Sadly, I just don't use any 4x4 features regularly enough to justify keeping it - I got to use snow mode earlier this month and it was awesome, but Cambridgeshire isn't really that wild.
Interior is in good condition, with wear to the drivers seat in the usual place and full mats front and rear meaning the base carpet is in very good condition. Fixed towbar came with the vehicle but I've never used it other than as a convenient over-night battery charging point and that cable is included.
As it's a base model there's no LR head unit, so I have added an Android double-DIN system that has a rear video camera, GPS, Bluetooth, FM Radio, 3G (via an included dongle) and WiFi, so you can leave it on the drive and have it update your music, Google Maps etc. before auto-shutdown so navigation is always up-to-date. Put a SIM in the dongle, and you'll get the usual Google live traffic information and auto-rerouting.
The gearbox was rebuilt (including the mechatronic unit) after I initially purchased it back in 2016, and then EPB did it's thing, so I had that repaired and fresh pads all round as the old ones had come apart and jammed the mechanism, and shortly after that the drivers side front wheel bearing and both front disc pads were replaced.
Service history stamps up until 147,000 miles, and service receipts from both my ownership and previous owners, as well as the original manuals.
Open to offers as it's done a few miles, but kicking off at £3,700 - inspection and questions welcome.
