And will it have the bluetooth mobile telephone option? Thanks Roel BN55 WPT G4 D3 LHD Team Greece.

I know it is a 4.4 HSE, but does it have the automatic locking rear diff? And will it have the bluetooth mobile telephone option? Thanks Hi Roel yes it does have the rear diff ...... mine did not come with the PTI option ... it does come with the high end audio / nav system however. the bluetooth is easy fixed with the Parrot bt hands free kit so not to worry about that! rest of the options such as underbody protection, rack, A bar, winch etc, rear ladder etc, roof rack lamps etc Mine was also cabled for radios etc. rgds Simon *G4OC Committee Member - Marketing Officer* D-GG-406 (BN55 WPR) Bolivia Stage 3-4 G4 D3 - Team Germany "Home of the Wopper!"

Check the spare wheel - mine had an alloy, but it was a different style to the other 4 and I had to replace it. Mine had swivelling headlights which are a great trick - not sure if this is above standard specification though. Some other things to look out for are: damaged or worn suspension. Quite a lot of work was required to put mine right, and even although it had only 10,000 miles on the clock the front discs were warped. Bodywork on my example was badly scratched and dents are evident in most panels although someone has had a go a knocking them back out. In general you might find a lot of dirt inside. Mine has dust in places such as the lenses of the interior courtesty lights and behind every piece of trim. The sunroof drains were blocked with mud. Mine was damaged from some of the conversion work at the factory - things like the cutting of the front bumper is poor. Good luck with the purchase I hope it goes smoothly. _____________________ 2005 G4 Discovery

HSE So it looks to be original but it has smaller door sticker compared to the team cars. See my other topic. That looks strange to me but saying that if you go to the vehicle specification page. The picture there has also smaller stickers. Roel BN55 WPT G4 D3 LHD Team Greece. Now on Dutch license. 1984 TD5 90 Camel to be P101JWK 1997 CT Disco Now in the Dutch Camel Trophy Museum.

If so I'd seen it before, it looks like the logos were almost hand painted, I'm guessing someone tried to replace missing logos, although it was still registered to lr as only owner.

Most of the RHD were 7 seats. Although the HSE is based on Euro spec which was a bit lower the UK spec, then all of the above including adaptive lights should be fitted. TBH, Julian's sounds like it has been in the wars compared to most of the others I have seen!!

I did a deal to fit the MTRs .... but in general quite good. Its going in for a pre warranty check and TüV next week at Matzkers in Köln so will see but Ive not noticed anything untoward.

Group: Forum Member Posts: 66, Visits: 438	Yes the stickers look strange see my other topic. But if you look at the 2006 vehicle specification page you see an official LR picture with the smaller stickers too. http://www.g4ownersclub.com/Resources/2006/SpecSheets/Discovery%203%20%202006%20spec%20Sheet.PDF That's what I think is making it even more strange. Does somebody know that BN55WPT had a hard live during the event? Roel Roel BN55 WPT G4 D3 LHD Team Greece.

I hope this helps in your purchase decision Further details are kept to club members as one o the benefits to membership, I hope you understand, but hopefully you soon will a G4 owner and a club member!
