Hi All first post for a long time

Hi all i haven't been on here for a very long time. i had a D2 but it had to go for various reasons.
I'm now in the position of getting another green oval and i'm thinking about an early D3 I understand the mileage will be high for my budget i was just wondering what peoples experiences are with these vehicles I've read all about the bad bits ( hand brake, making sure the belts are done, auto g/box oil change) the vehicle will only be used at weekends for some green laneing landrover shows when i go fishing or bad weather.
what are the good and bad bits to owning one ????
Thanks.

Welcome back

Welcome back, you don’t need to disappear if you get rid of your Landy btw

D3 is bit different to a D2, sorta like getting a RR - spannering is bit more difficult but you need computer & electronic know to do pretty much anything. There are some right smarties here than can help you along though

Good luck

I'm hgv mechanic by trade so no probs with working on them and have a ramp and diagnostic gear i can use was just looking for the pitfalls and its good to know that there is some knowledge on here.

Welcome back. You must land some big fish if you need a D3 to cart them home.

No I'm lucky to catch anything lol
Just need it to cart all my ****

They do tow.

And snap crankshafts

I was under the impression that it was 3.0L that snapped the crankshafts

Which are you looking at?

Gstuart is the guy to ask. What he dun know bout D3s ain’t worth knowing. You may find him in here time to time but more likely in Disco section.

I'm looking at 2.7 tdv6 possible manual most are around 150k up to 190k milage

Welcome to the forum

D3 buyers guide in the disco section below. Worth a laff
