Discovery 3, manual 6A.... MOT today!!
My venerated D3, with the correct gearbox, that is manual :whistle: , 6A and with me since new, 340,000 km, active and original EGRs. MOT today, passed without a single fault ... nothing ... smoke oapacity 1.1, just in range ..... the operator of the MOT station is still surprised that in the test of handbrake on the rollers, the car interpret that the emergency brake has been activated and stop them placidly without the slightest fuss and elegantly turning on the rear brake lights by itself ... I did not believe it, he thought that I supported the situation with the foot brake ... poor ignorant guy !!lost in translation!

Thank you.... this part of Spain is not hot. It is Asturias, 1000 km north of Gibraltar, north of Spain, on the Cantabrian coast specifically, on the shores of the Bay of Biscay, west of the Basque country, I see the FBH working often. look at the next 10 days

My 05 is timeless. It looks amazing and has been looked after. They don't age, I'd still rather have mine than a much newer car. Mot for mine early April so fingers crossed.
Just wish the weather would get better so I can get out and tinker
