| off to look at a 06MY Disco3 SE - advice needed |
|
Going to see/pickup a 2006 Discovery 3 SE this Wednesday, haven't had a Land Rover since my original Discovery 300tdi 10 years ago.
Its 55 plate, SE model
184k miles
Black
Leather heated memory seats
detachable tow bar
just wondering if there are specific things I should be looking for that they are know for, I'm very mechanically minded so general things I can spot
Obviously things like timing belt I can check the history for, although to be honest, regardless I might just change the belts and idlers/tentioners
things i'm most concerned about is the electrical side of things, any lights I should be looking for on the dash, things I should test/check?
thanks in advance for any help

At that mileage if it's an auto its may have torque converter and maybe gearbox issues if a TC problem has been ignored. Give it a nice long test drive including some dual carriage way if you can. Stu
