Thread: Difference between Disco 3 and 4

Bling, according to Jeremy Clarkson...

Lights for on road identification. I believe the computer programmes differ.

2009 D4 had different lights and front grill plus the centre console switch positions for hi/low and terrain response were different layout
I think the dash upgrade came 2010/11 but could be wrong on that.

As far as running gear i believe was the same.

Cheers Bulletman

Very broadly:
Largely cosmetic changes in the early D4 models (front grill, lights, Colour coordination of some plastic Trims etc) although some of the D3 engine issues were also addressed)

Then engine and gearbox changes occurred, along with front brake / terrain response changes

The very last 09 D3s had painted wheel arches before switching to D4 which also had the extra fake air intake and totally different grill and lights and bumper details

As others have already mentioned mostly cosmetic items.

Mechanically lots of little things changed, off the top of my head.

location of transfer case control module, front cv different diameter, engine computer brand change along with programming, different engine mounts, different abs, radiator and cooling system change, engine ancillaries change (obviously along with the different v6 diesel), 8 speed on later ones, brakes different.

same rubbish electric handbrake, same rubbish engine reliability, same rubbish build quality, same rubbish support from Land Rover.

Going by the responses so far I’d say Clarkson nailed it.
