I'd say the last month or two.

LR build plate or Aussie compliance plate ?

Interestingly, I passed a D1 on historic plates in Dunkeld tonight.
That means over 25 years old.

:confused::confused:

If it were a 'H' serial No., it'd make is a 90-91 model Disco.
.. 3WA566 .. make more sense as a 98 model D1.
If the 'H' is meant to be subbed for the M in your sequence, then it makes even less sense, as the M = 5 door discovery, whereas H = High Capacity Pick Up with/without crew cab

The only thing I can't seem to locate on mine is the build date .. only compliance date 4/99

V= 96-97, W=97-98, X=98-99(D2 model start year).

side note: my wreck D2 is an X model(5/99) and my project D2 is a Y model(11/99).

You are correct AK83 it does include a poorly stamped W in the vin numbers [bighmmm]

cheers

G'day pop58

My vin number is just forward of the brake booster on the drivers side guard on the flat panel,which is under the second (red top) battery,it took some finding by transport dept.when we had the rego transferred. We think it has had booth front guards replaced prior to our ownership.
