Many thanks will print this off and take it with me when looking at a D3...Andyhi and welcome
here’s a buyers guide for the D3
https://www.landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/buyers-guide.312800/
must ensure the belts and oil pump cover have been done , for a decent D3 ur looking around 7k , the higher the model u go the higher the ins , base model is group 33 HSE is group 37
plenty of advice here ref the D2 /D3 from some very experienced members

D2 are simpler, cheaper to buy, cheaper to work on, later D3 expensive tax.
D2 chassis rust
D3 eats suspension bushes
Both are VERY capable off road
Both sound very good for Diesels
My advice is work out your budget and take it from there.
Under £4000 D2
Over £7000 D3
I bought a D2 as D3 were not cheap enough but I do not regret it at all.
I prefer D3 styling to D4, but D4 is a better drive.
At least you get to chose between the best vehicles in their class.
I would buy a d3... Nothing wrong with the d2 though beautiful engine but old and you will stuggle to find a solid one
