    Changes

    Howdy Guys , Just wondering what land rover had changed on the discovery from the 95' models to the 98' models . They look just about the same to me but i'm new to disco's too. I'm getting closer to buying one so any info would be very much appreciated . Thanks

    98 I beleive is the D2 (no longer D1, which was bassed heavily on the classic rangie chassis/suspension)

    Its the intro of the TD5 diesel.
    Radius arms front and rear, with a watslink to centralise the rear diff.
    New interior design

    I could be wrong but these are the main things that I beleive are changed/new.

    Cheers

    95 to 98 Disco's will all be essentially the same. Some with ABS and airbags, some without.

    99 was the introduction of the Disco II.

    BTW, the D2 was a major redesign to the D1:

    Refer to Discovery Owners Club :: Tech - History for more info on the D1 & D2.

    Lots of things you dont see or notice. A change happened about mid late 95 with the following differences.
    The floor pan is different, under the front seats
    Front seat bases
    front Seatbelts
    Door lock solonoids different
    radio aerial went from the front guard to rear window
    transfer case got a cross drilled gear
    Dash boards were modified on the front edge to reduce peeling
    lots of other things i cant remember.............

    Mags changed in 98.
