Sadly the time has come to part with our beloved Disco.
She's a November 2004 HSE in Java Black with Almond leather. She's covered 131000 miles (may increase slightly with use), nearly 20k of which has been with me since I bought her in November 2014. 4 previous owners.
She has a full service history (initially with LR then independant specialists) I have a huge wad of receipts for work done including the relevant belts, new compressor etc. With me she's had a new battery, new discs and pads all round, a new rear prop shaft, and a full flush from Geoff. Also just had a new Pilkington front heated screen.
All the usual HSE parts plus:
Side steps
Tow pack (detachable) plus 13 pin electrics and plastic holder
Old style Ipod kit available
Upgrades:
EGR valves blanked
Remote park heater with 2 RF remotes
COD
3FI
LEDs throughout interior
AF Bright reverse LEDs
2016 Sat Nav disc (plus original if you want the dark ages).
She's a Land Rover and as such has her issues: there's an intermittent fault with the rear parking sensors (identified as the rear right needing replacing) and the heater blows warm on the driver only.
Condition good- She has two tiny scratches on the sides (smaller than a 5p) and a small scrape on the nearside rear light (I've tried to show in pictures but they're barely visible in the flesh). Inside there are a couple of marks on the passenger footwell leather and in the past someone's kids have ripped the front seat pockets slightly at the edges (again tried to show in pics).
She's been a great, safe, reliable car and taken us all over the UK. I'll be very sad to see her go, but a new less capable vehicle is on it's way

Accompanied test drives welcome if you can provide proof of insurance to drive her. HPI welcome.
Mods, I believe I've complied with forum rules, please let me know if I need to add/ change anything.

Hi,
I am a newbie Disco 3 Wannabe owner
Can you please tell us what COD and 3FI are?
Does this have the triple panoramic sunroofs?
How many keys do you have for it?
When you say the heater only blows cold on the driver does the dual climate control not work on the passenger side?
COD= Clock on Dash- one of the popular mods so the clock appears in front of you rather than only on the hifi screen.
3FI is 3 flash indicators- another mod, for lazy indicating so a quick press on the stalk makes the indicators flash 3 times!
Yep, as an HSE it has the triple sunroofs (only the first one is active). Drains are also cleared (which is a problem on some sunroofs leading to leaking).
I have 2 keys (both brand new branded replacements for the tatty old ones I was given with the car). I've turned lazy entry off but there's no reason it shouldn't work if wanted (each key has a memory position for the driver's seat to set the car up for different drivers as you walk up to it).
The cool/hot is a known issue on the forums- it's just hard to get to the actuator to loosen it up so I haven't spent too much time trying! The heating and cooling works fine, from my understanding, it's just the vane that closes across to push hot air to the passenger side needs exercised. (Driver's side is fine- hot and cold, it's the passenger that doesn't seem to be getting hot air- hence me not spending too much time worrying about it- turn the radio up and you can't hear the whinging ).
