Land Rover model codes

[Disco1Newbee]

Hi guys,

When browsing through lists of spares, reference is made to codes that i have no idea about, or where to find them.

Examples of the codes that i am referring to:
JA018109

JA034313


KA034313 to LA081991

MA081992


I have a '96 Discovery 1 V8i.

Thanks Shaun

As far as I know the letters refer to the "back end" of the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN).

Land Rover VIN Checker Land Rover One Ten: Land Rover One Ten Blog (http://landroveroneten.com/cgi-bin/vin_checker.cgi/)

The first two letters are the year of build and the country of build. For example M =1995 and A is built in Solihull.

I was often asked by a parts supplier if my Disco was a "MA on" model ie 1995 or later to distinguish it from the earlier variant.

Interesting the last section of my D1 begins with TA...
Not sure where that fits into the scheme of things.

Thanks

Hi Disco1

TA = 1996 model year, that is after MA = 1995 model year.

You need to scroll a long way down the list in that link to get to the Build Year section. T is 1996 (strangely enough ;)) :D

Put your entire VIN into the Clifton link Vlad posted above and all will be revealed.
