I joined to get some advice before buying one and saw your advert while browsing
A fatal mistake next you'll be buying just about every accessory and complaining that the D3 isn't very good on fuel

Thanks for the welcome , not really into accessories I just wanted something to get about in for my hobby wildlife photography I get all over as you can imagine I`ve watched most of the german couple LR TIME so I`ve seen most that can go wrong ? every car goes wrong doesn`t it maybe not as much as a bad discovery but I had a L322 3.6 so the fuel wont shock me but as you said is it a fatal mistake getting one ?

Well I’m on Disco no:5 and keep coming back as nothing else can match it for practicality… I would think that the majority on here have had more than one… you know it makes sense I want to see the sweets before I get into your windowless van... I'm not stupid!

Ive bought a replacement for my D3…so its back up for sale. For definite this time 🤦🏼♂️.
Please see my prev add for all the details - ive spent a small fortune on this car in the 2+ years ive had it….loved it…its stunning and been awesome.
Its on 195k at the mo but has sprung a minor oil leak - just being honest. Ive no idea where its leaking from…its very minor…but ive not had a chance to get it looked at so dunno the cause yet.
I want to keep the roof box and maybe roof bars but it'll come with everything else thats on it.
Still drives like a dream. Everything works as it should. Awesome car. Drives fantastically.
Gentle bump to see if thread is showing in recent updates , to allay OP'S paranoia .

As you asked, some photos of the interior might help. Especially the drivers seat, as they can become very worn with mileage.
