Hi Kuba. The short answer is they're wonderful vehicles. There are some issues but these days the discos make for great, buildable trucks. Check out the landroverforums.com for more specific info on the D3

The D3 is one of the best, most durable vehicles Land Rover has ever made. However, it has vulnerabilities. Most of which can be resolved using a GAP Diagnostics IID tool: https://www.gap-diagnostic.com/products/iidtool/
This forum (ExpeditionPortal) has a fair amount of info on the D3/LR3, but there are other sources that might be better for you, such as:

Nie widzę tu nic na tym filmie czego D3 by nie zrobił...Podstawa jest zabezpieczenie podwozia i dobre opony .D3 jest mocniejszy niż D2 i nie wlewa sie do niego woda , jak w poprzednich modelach, ma bardzo szczelne drzwi i dobre uszczelki w drzwiach. Silnik V8 4.4 benzyniak jest sprawdzonym motorem i wytrzymałym. Ja sam mam na moim LR3 prawie 300 000 kilometrôw i dalej chula jak nowy.

Yeah definitely buy a GAP tool if you decide on a D3

Yes, nice touch indeed, however, it would have been nice to have the English translation to appreciate the answer for others wondering the same thing.
To add to the question, I read that the V8 is the way to go, since the V6 is marginal and end up costing the same in gas. Any truth ro that???

The NAS V6 in the LR3 is spectacular, and easily outclasses all the older Rover V8's, however, the LR3 V8 is superior, by a small margin. The V6 is better mated to the LR3 tranny, but the V8 has a wider torque band and more top end horsepower. I drove my V6 for a year or two, had to switch to a V8 LR3 for a few months, then went back to my V6, and did not miss the V8 at all. However, given a choice, I'd buy a V8, all other factors being equal.
Footnote: I drive with a very heavy Go pedal, and tend to keep the revs up.
