Scotland 2007 Discovery 3 TDV6 XS Manual Chawton WhiteDiscovery 3

hey guys ave had my new D3 commercial for 3 or 4 weeks now and am luvin it my only proble is i think the turbo takes too long to kick in unless you get the boot into it as for when you were talkin about the tax i think it`s great as i also have a 1.6 16v astra and it cost me £180 for a year also but all in all i think it is good ordered my disco3.co.uk sticker for it and also one for my colleague. Thumbs Up Very Happy

The TC was/is a must have IMO.

Hi,

I too have just got a D3 Commercail XS with a few toys.

You are doing very well to get 33 I only get 26 - but I put that down to the Survivor roof rack and ladders I carry for work.

Regarding the speed limit as it is a car derived van you can legally drive it at all the normal speed limits - the problem only arises when it is a van or a van drevied car.

Also check out the RFL on the Commercail only £180.00 per year.

A vantastic car compared to my old Discovery 2 Commercial


Sorry to be a party pooper but the fact that you are paying £180 a year in RFL identifies the vehicle as a commercial. Therefore you must adhere to commercial vehicle speed limits.

you pay £180 a year due to the emissions and the offset for the first 45k as far as am aware nothing to do with it being a commercial

If that were the case, all D3's would be £180. If someone would like to PM me a reg no for a commercial I can check it in work tonight and report back.

I think Hightry is correct you know........

The D3 commercial IS legally defined as a commercial vehicle and built by LRSV. It is not a CDV.

However, my D3 (van) is an SE model CDV with two seats and a rear load-space, but I pay the standard car tax based on emmisions and can travel happily the maximum speed limit for cars Razz
