I would like to know what additional options a 2005 D3 has. 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.

You may or may not have 7 seats... mine has but all the others I've seen seem to be 5 seat.

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.

5 Seats, Road tyres, Looks like it has swiveling headlight but not sure. 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.

? ex James French ?

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.

I think all the LHD were 5 seats. 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!!

mines is pretty good nick actually.....certainly no major damage inside or out

5 seats .... although regd as 7

yes HSE EU spec .. no PTI etc  fixed mirrors etc

the rest is there and mine had only done 14K km ... hardly run in!

was fitted with std road radials .. 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.

That's what I think is making it even more strange.

Does somebody know that BN55WPT had a hard live during the event?

Roel

I can confirm BN55 WPT was an event car and nothing on the record about any extra "abuse" beyond what all event cars went through ;). 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!

Simon

I guess same for the NL insurance

yell if you need more help

Simon

That's about 800 Euro installation and 30 euro a month for tracking services.

That's a lot off money.

Mine is the best looking G4D3 by miles. Very simple because it's mine.

Look at Nene Overlands website. You see the proof.

That's mine. It will come with the rear G4 plate.

I know how that goes:

First time: A little bit dirty.

Second time: serious dirty.

Third time: a little more than dirty.

After that: Who cares it was fun.

I know because I've done that to my CT Disco.

Sorry it is in Dutch.

It's a toy, it has to be used were it was made for.

Mine won't be a museum piece but I promised that I will be carefull with it (the first few? year(s))

Men don't grow up, only the toys get bigger!!!!
