Ken, cool 8)
You get my vote for the most modified D3, does it still have the TDV6 engine and an EPB issue?
Wouldn't say I was living in one Tony, but do have visiting rights I know it's not considered "kind" to say no these days, but no. Just no, ok? And if it's not ok, still no.

Oh it has it issues alright (£4000:00 for a service (1st one)) and def a female never does as its told
Did they leave platinum bars in the rear load space?Did you think I would leave you crying,
When there's room in my D3 for 7,
Climb in here Joe we'll soon be flying,
I can go just as fast with 7.
2005 TDV6 S with Terrain Response (& all that entails), Tasmods (gorn). 2008 TDV6 HSE (gone). A Dark Side umbrella (here) & car (here).
How about a least modified thread?
I've put a fixed towbar on mine. Oh, and the steering wheel radio controls.
That's it. Anybody beat that?

That's some modifying you've been doing Ken, looks like a pretty good imitation too, doesn't the low top end speed and cloud of black smoke when you try to outrun a real one give the game away a bit, or have you managed to shoehorn a TDv8 into the rear............................................ I would imagine that the access mode for the air suspension might cause problems with ground clearance of the bodywork as wellNow a disillusioned new Land Rover buyer and have jumped ship to something less expensive and more reliable that hugs trees.... now driving a Mini Countryman PHEV as well as my trusty and brilliant 1996 Epsom Green Defender90 Tdi300

A better towbar. Thinking about a camper trailer. Like the Mitchell Bros product (ordered one actually)
How did I do?
