Might be swapping the D2 for D3
john656:
I would love to be able to afford the D3. I've driven everything from a 200tdi to a d4.
The disco 3 is by far my favorate as it is a lot for not alot, stick it in D and just waft along the ride is amazing for such a huge vehicle and If they have a locking rear and centre diff they'll be almost unstopable. Not a fan of the manual box so would have to have an auto plus makes wafting alot easier.
Not sure about their reliability but who owns a land rover and can put their hands up and say yea not problems to date :-. love the vehicles regardless.

on a good day they are truely brilliant. i used to tow a 23 ft twin axle compass rallyee with mine, & i can honestly say it was like theres nowt on the back, i had my ECU remapped up to 250bhp, downside to that is a lot of smoke out the back, & i do mean a lot. also with giving it plenty of right foot it blown the EGR valves out, so went into 'limp' mode, a trip down to the main stealers later that week same thing happened. Also land Rover will only repair 1 item under warranty only the once, i had a bit of an argy bargy with the service manager at trinity in hinckley, after the electric parking brake packed up for the third time & wouldnt do owt about it. the upside is it is brilliant off road, i took mine on a open day, got round the course on only just legal road tyres..they will leave other cars behind in standard form. you pays your money you takes your chance. :-k

My 2 pence worth.......
My boss was after a capable off roader the other year after he got stranded at home on a few occasions in the snow (he has an Audi A5 cabrio and his wife a corsa VXR!!), I talked him into a D3 and he duly parted with
