[For Sale] 2006 Discovery 3 2.7TDV6 Manual Base Model 5 Seat
Hi all,
After just under a year of ownership i'm looking to move on from my lovely D3, i now have my heart set on a Series or early 90.
My D3 is very low spec, but don't let that put you off! Its a 5 seat model, manual gearbox with coil suspension (from the factory not converted). Mileage is currently circa 156000, and the car is in daily use so this will continue to rise by 250miles a week ish.
It passed its MOT with no advisories on 17th Sept 2021
I had the oil pump, water pump, timing belt, tensioners and aux belt done by the excellent Flack in March last year (at 148000 miles).
I replaced the front discs and pads and caliper carrier with the larger V8 spec items last year at 150500 miles. The EPB locked up on me about six months ago but i freed it off and reset correctly using Bodsys brake bible and it has been perfect since.
I changed the front and rear diff oils at 149000 miles, and found no signs of swarf or anything else untoward on the magnetic plugs.
The car had an oil, oil filter, air filter, cabin filter and fuel filter change at 153000 miles.
I also stripped and cleaned out the FBH last year as it wasnt working, it now works perfectly.
It has aluminium rock slider/sill covers, as it had side steps on when i bought it which were knackered, as were the original plastic sill covers. The aluminium sliders were cheaper than new sill covers!
There is a "Safari" style snorkel fitted to the car.
It has an Osram 500mm LED lightbar neatly hidden in the grill, which is wired via relay and cabin switch to come on with the high-beams if desired. I may keep this if i don't get near the price im looking for.
I recently fitted new rear shock absorbers and springs, new front shocks are included but not fitted (theres nothing wrong with the current front shocks, i just bought these intending to change al 4 corners as they were cheap!). There is also a wad a receipts for work done from the previous owner, including a rear propshaft and a couple of control arms.
This D3 has been and continues to be an excellent workhorse, but its wasted running me to work and back and i can't justify keeping it as a toy.
I'm looking for £4750 or very near to it, based in Sheffield.
More images to follow showing recent additions such as the snorkel and lightbar!
