Umm, the D2 wasn't sold with the 4-cylinder 300Tdi which was used in the D1. The D2 had the 5-cylinder Td5 engine.

Calling a Land Rover a "jeep" is not very nice.

That's right, jeeps are so much awesome they should never be compared to an imitator like a land rover

Sometimes the term D2 can be interpreted as the 1995 on update model.

For the original poster - D2s as properly known (TD5 versions) dont have Timing Belts

Need to know exactly which model you are looking at... whats the VIN number start with?

For the sensitive when I say Jeep i mean generically 4x4 I'm keeping my options open depending on how friendly you lot are :P

For everyone else.... crap I'm not off to a good start but thanks for the help. Sooo it must be on it's 2nd engine then or something.

1999 Land Rover Discovery For Sale For Sale in Ennis, Clare. Buy Discovery

Tombie - thanks I'm reading Aulro at an enormous rate and TD5's have timing chains which should keep going as long as the motor does. But the timing belt has definitely been replaced so it's a 300tdi... just whether it first came with the Disco or not is the question. I don't have a VIN number at the mo should I ask for it?

That vehicle is a last of model Discovery 1.
It means it has the face lift and later dash.

Yep, commercial model Discovery 1 with the 300Tdi engine from factory.
