Interesting but not as interesting as one of my customers today who has just ordered a TDV8 Disco 3 via LR Special vehicles

Do you know if they have to fit it with the Dr and Brembo's or do they leave it with the normal suspension and brakes?

Duh! Put "JE Zulu" in Google and read all about it! Road tests in LRO and LRM, evo soon

Sorry, my question was about the TDV8 D3 not the Zulu..

Saw the press releases for that already!

Ah yes, sorry too for jumping to conclusions Now, a TdV8 D3 would be interesting.

My understanding is that it comes with brakes and suspension of RRS TDV8.

Approx additional cost was an additional 12k but will be a very rare car and has full 3 year warranty

Sounds interesting, you'll have to get some further feedback when it's built!

Why does he want this.. Assuming that the RRS and D3 are as capable as one another off road, does your customer need the larger boot, or 7 seats?

What is the price difference bewteen a RRS TDV6 anda RRS TDV8 in the UK. is that similar to the GPB12k being paid here assuming the starting price was a D3 TDv6 HSE?

Being far from technical minded.....

As the D3 and RRS are sister cars can it really be that hard to put the TDV8 running gear into the D3?

They are, after all based on the same floorpan etc. or is this a very simplistic view? Runner up - 2009 Best Avatar Award

Apparently it's fairly easy but takes time and money to install the TDV8 'set up' into a Disco3.....so if you really want one...you have to pay

Also TDV8 FFRR doesn't have DR..................... so why would it be a problem for D3, you will only need a couple of packets of antisea-sickness pills (much cheaper, and you know where the rattle is coming from too!) 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

You have to be careful when polishing turds. They can fly in all sorts of directions when you use one of those rotary jobs.
