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:D
 
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.
It’s an 06.. not exactly newer:( yeah I seem to like a challenge, my life seems to easy atm with no ties:D need something to occupy myself with!

True, and it is a land rover... my '68 is a real bitch. What kind of state is it in? Pics?

Good attitude, i'm the same, no ties, no woman, just a landy, costs about the same.

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!

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.

Here's a few good websites for spares:

Thanks for the links! Just had a call from the garage saying it needs a new wheel bearing on one side, new battery and reg plate light bulb. All being paid for by the previous owner which is a result and I’ll be able to pick it up towards the end of the week! Happy days
 
hi @Jake Brant

welcome to the asylum

indeed the D3 will keep u entertained ;):D:D

dont forget the oil pump cover

look forward to the pics
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?

they modified the casting , new ones have any extra ribbed corner to stop them snapping off

indeed it’s suppose to be from 2007 , however even 2005 have been reported of breaking
