The Discovery 4 (LR4, 2010 to 2016) is the updated L319. It uses the 5.0-liter V8, the 3.0-liter supercharged V6 and the 3.0-liter SDV6 diesel, with a 6- and later 8-speed automatic.
Your 2012 Land Rover Discovery is from the Discovery 4 (LR4) generation, which covers model years 2010–2016. Most procedures are shared with the other years of this generation, but engines, options and wiring changed from year to year, so the manual is made for the 2012 model year.
Check the model year on your VIN: on a 2012 vehicle the 10th character of the 17-digit VIN is “C”. 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 14 years old, a 2012 vehicle often needs work on the cooling system, timing components, suspension bushings, motor mounts and corroded electrical connectors, all jobs where the exact factory procedure and torque values save time.
Same generation: 2010 Land Rover Discovery, 2011 Land Rover Discovery, 2013 Land Rover Discovery, 2014 Land Rover Discovery, 2015 Land Rover Discovery, 2016 Land Rover Discovery.
