Hi
I've just bought a D3. It's a MY2008 (8A, but delivered mid December 2007) TDV6, EU4, no DPF, SE, TDV6, ZF6HP26 in Buckingham Blue and with Almond Leather interior. No mods whatsoever, as of yet, 285k kilometres and two previous owners. It also has dead FBH, stuck tow hitch, "manual" ashtray, some intermittent grinding at constant speeds, but everything else works.
This forum has some responsibility in me deciding to go for it, so here I am.

I saw them do one of these on a repeat of Wheeler Dealers the other night. No where near as hardcore as yours though. Unfortunately it failed it’s MOT on rust and they had to sell it cheap.

Hi,

Hello,
Mick here located near Durham
Just made the move from the FullFat ownership and Forum after the Motor expired on mine.
I was ready for a change anyhow as the job list was mounting on the old Girl.
I have bought a 2010 D4 XS I bought it with a cracked inlet manifold and had a pair fitted and all belts and water pump at the same time.
Must say the D4 feels a lot nicer to drive and is surprisingly quick.
I am having some problems already and have posted in the help forums.
Thanks
Mick

Looking forward to talking with you all.

Hi Razor
Welcome. Use the Search facility (at the top of the page) and search for P132b fault. I just did that and came up with about 20 entries where it is mentioned with various suggestions.
Good luck
CheersGary
