Are '98s saeris I or II?

[Mr.Grumpy]

What visual cluse can I use to identify one or the other in a picture?

 

[LRbeave]

Hey man...all 98's are D1's...1999 is the year where a discovery can be a I or II...for visual differences...The taillights on a D1 are lower than that of a D2, the top of the lights is about par in height with the top of the licence plate....another thing, D1's have a rectangle door handle that is flush with the body of the vehicle...D2's have door handles that look newer, they come off the body...those are 2 things that help me out alot when first looking at them, i hope that helps

 

[cptyarderho]

yep. DII was late in 99.

 

[ZROVER]

DII also are a little wider and longer

 

[garrett]

and DII seats have piping.

And DII's have a badge on the tailgate that says "Series II"

 

[cptyarderho]

not all came that way, ours did not have one.

 

[garrett]

more than likely fell off at the factory.

How can you be sure that you've got a DII then?
I'd go back to the dealership and raise hell.

LSE DIs have piping.

 

[MUSKYMAN]

the easiest way to tell is look at the dash...DII have the ABS,TC,HDC lights on:rofl:

well shit. i need to get me one of them.

DIIs i should say are just fancier in general. lots of fancy appointments like fancy fender flares, fancy cupholders, fancy plastic bumpers, fancy traction control stuff, fancy door handles, fancy wheels and fancy drivers.

 

[bigred]

fancy drivers.

Thanks for noticing.

 

[DJAC]

And the doors close more like a Passat as opposed to a Series Rover!!! LOL!!!

 

[mgreenspan]

well shit. i need to get me one of them.

Funny thing is the only LSE I've been in was completely chopped. It was glorious. Leather piping in a chopped disco...

The 03-04 DII's did not have the Series II badge on them. The 04 DII's had round tubular roof rack bars. And of course the RR headlights. 99-02 DII's are most noticeable as already stated by the door handles and the taillights.
