15 things you possibly didn't know about your D3.
Well, before watching I thought I'd know them all
...... turns out I only knew about half of them.
WARNING: You'll need the time and patience to watch this ...... as can be seen by the comments below.

# 3, 10 and 15 for me (#10 looks really useful given how much towing we do)
Also disagree with him over #11 - I find I need to use a broad bladed screwdriver to remove the vertical slider, but can see that he managed it.
Have to say his other half is a good egg and very smileyCurrently 2009 Disco 3 SE, 2013 MY D4 HSE and 2016 D4 SE

The phrase "long suffering" came to my mind. SWMBO would have belted me before we'd done half of that! Visiting from rrsport.co.uk

I managed 2.30mins.... annoying video... most people who make videoâs or radio, or.... tend to love their own voice so much, that the subject, often snowâs under.... this is one of them... to much distraction while on the road maybe....
I will have another try if i get really Curious... promise..
Note:
The 4xOverland guy on Youtube is one i can watch although.. Best regards
