Finally, after 8 weeks of procrastination, obfuscation and general idiocy from the insurance and the bank, I picked up the new Disco 3 days ago. Haven’t stopped smiling since :)

This is a 2009 TDV6 SE – my previous D3 was a 2006 TDV6 SE – and there’s been quite a few minor changes in the last few years. For a start, the new SE gets the “High ICE” premium stereo, with subwoofer, 6-stacker CD, aux inputs and steering-wheel controls. The turbo lag seems to have decreased, and the car raises and lowers faster than before. The addition of the High ICE also means I can now program various settings (eg auto door locks, standby lights etc) that I had to take the car to the dealer to do previously.

As you can see, I added a few accessories – LR rear eLocker, LR snorkel, LR expedition roof-rack, 17″ rims with Maxxis Bighorn 265/70/17 tyres, electric trailer brake, LR winch-enabled A bar, my GOE rock-sliders + stand-off bars, GOE compressor plate, GOE shortened HS rods, a Hema Navigator GPS and a Spot satellite tracker. Still got the winch to fit, dual batteries, the CB and I’m undecided on the spare-wheel carrier. Should be ready to hit the tracks next weekend!!

The happy LR family ………….. :)
