Hi Mikey, I've got a 55 plate 2.7 use. It has 47k fully dealer serviced and I've owned since jan. I've had to replace parking sensors, door lock mechanism, battery, alternator, and recently park brake mechanism and pads (over £800). Also the egr valves are sticking so going to blank those soon. Even so I love this car, it just feels great driving it and with the help and knowledge available on this and the disco 3 site most things can be remedied. I have AA cover and find them very good, paid out for alternator and park brake (up to £500 limit) without any problem so I'd definitely recommend.

Also, check if your timing belt has been replaced as if not it will be due soon (7 years), there is a specialist in south Wales offering both belts for £399, not sure how that compares, any advances guys???

Thanks for your help/advice guys, I have taken the AA cover but still thinking about Warranty
Direct too if they give me a good deal.

Mine is having a cambelt tomorrow at a specialist in North wales £398.63 inclusive of VAT

Also a service @ £216 including VAT 2009 3.6 TDV8 HST
