The Discovery 2 (L318, 1999 to 2004) uses the 4.0- and 4.6-liter Rover V8 and the Td5 diesel, with a ladder frame and permanent four-wheel drive.
Model year 1999 is part of the Discovery Series II generation (1999–2004). It is the first model year of this generation: the platform, wiring and many procedures changed compared with the previous model, so a manual for an earlier year will not match it.
Check the model year on your VIN: on a 1999 vehicle the 10th character of the 17-digit VIN is “X”. Vehicles built for North America always carry the model year in that position; on some European or Australian vehicles it may be left unused, so in that case go by the registration papers or the build plate.
At about 27 years old, a 1999 vehicle is in the age range where wiring, rubber hoses, seals and corrosion repairs take most of the work, and where original factory information is hardest to find.
