What have I done.
Hi all, just bought another 2005 D3 for £1500. She runs but has a few faults on her. Picking her later so will get my iid tool at the ready. Engine sounds sweet and she is a fully loaded HSE so worst case scenario my D3 S will be upgraded. Cheers.Cheers

I knew there was a suspension issue and I can hear a hiss from the front near side so probably the airbag needs replacing. Not long after pulling off I get HDC fault and the All Terrain is off line from the get go. Could the suspension issue cause the faults I am experiencing or would it be a couple of issues? Thanks for any pointers. Cheers.Cheers

I bought an immaculate 2006 2.7L TDV6 HSE last week. It’s my first Land Rover and also my first real 4X4.
I’ve tried a little bit of light off roading and immediately fallen in love with it and I can’t wait to take it further.
Unfortunately, like yours, mine also has a fault with the NSF airbag. It’s only an intermittent fault at the moment but I’ve found someone that’s breaking a Disco and has both front airbags for £100.
Do you think replacing the bag will solve the issue?

Hi, a little update. I managed to cure the All Terrain fault by replacing the centre control console. I now have All Terrain. Well chuffed as it was a £50 fix. On mine I can hear hissing from under the passenger door so suspect the reservoir is goosed so have ordered a nearly new £50 replacement. I will update following the installation as the pump runs but it cannot get to the required pressure hence the bong. In response to your question I would go new if you are going to keep yours for a few years. I am sure I read on here somewhere and they were in the £220 area? Cheers.Cheers

Good luck. I did a similar thing. Earlier this year I paid £1k for a 2006 D3 HSE with faults, spent £1k repairing it and sold it for £5k New Defender L663 110 SE (known as Noddy!)
Sold Volvo XC90 R-Design (known as Basil)
Sold - D4 HSE (Known as Gerty)
No longer the Old Buses original owner
231,000 miles and counting

Still original injectors and turbo

I thought for the cost of it the lump on its own has got to be worth £1.5k so I could get a free leather upgrade etc but spending time with her I have taken a liking. The only thing is she is on 120k and the belts have not been done so if I keep her she is going to cost. She ain’t pretty but the interior and extras are way better than my Disco 3 S. Going to get my indie to look at her for a second opinion on the mechanicals and go from there. Cheers. Cheers

Indeed, have been quoted £1100 for the lot by a garage I trust. Front, back, oil pump and runners. I know it is not an easy job and I don’t fancy doing it myself outside my house. Cheers.Cheers

Managed to clear the steering angle sensor fault by recalibration using the iid tool. The dash stayed clear whilst going for a short drive. Hooray.! I believe the Ventilation system pressure fault is down to the aircon needing recharging. Not too sure on the others but will dig around to find out. Cheers.Cheers
