Good morning all!! Just purchased my first Land Rover, that being a Discovery3. I’m pretty much clueless when it comes to mechanics and bits so I’m sure you’ll see my name pop up on here quite a lot
Hi Jake,
Welcome to the money pit!
Yeah, you've got a discovery 3 though, newer, should be fine (let's pray). I see your dream is a series 1. Hope you're up for a ballache.Haha you know the game! Already putting money aside just for it
It’s an 06.. not exactly newerYeah, you've got a discovery 3 though, newer, should be fine (let's pray). I see your dream is a series 1. Hope you're up for a ballache.

Good attitude, i'm the same, no ties, no woman, just a landy, costs about the same.
Excellent, not bad at all, looking forward to the pics. Yeah people here will help you out, especially on the disco sub forum. I'm no good with discos, too modern, i don't know jack **** about them. I barely know enough mechanics for my series, i'm entry into this like you. People here are good.It’s in good condition. 81,000 miles, just had the cam belt done at 79,000. General wear and tear on the paint work and that’s it. Gone in for a MOT and service so when I get it back I will put some pictures up! Not quite sure what else I should look out for, as mentioned before very new but I’m sure people will help me out!

Thanks gstuart! Yeah I’ve heard a lot about the casing, mines an 06 which apparently isn’t in the age range but just to be on the safe side I will get it done. What caused the problem with them then? Is it a different design they’ve done or?hi @Jake Brant
