Production year alone is not always enough to identify the correct vehicle specification. Parts can vary according to VIN, chassis number, engine, gearbox, axle, suspension system or fitted equipment. Check the individual product description carefully before ordering.
Useful Information for Land Rover Owners
These vehicle pages provide an introduction to each Land Rover generation, helping owners understand production dates, chassis codes, engine choices, model updates and other important differences.
The guides are intended to make it easier to identify the correct vehicle before browsing parts, maintenance information and technical resources.
Always Check Individual Part Compatibility
Although the information pages help identify a vehicle generation, individual parts can still vary within the same model. Always compare the listed fitment information, part number, VIN range and existing component before ordering.
Vehicle Model Information FAQs
How do I identify my Land Rover model generation?
Check the vehicle model, production year and VIN. Chassis codes such as L318, L319, L322, L405, L494 and L663 can also help distinguish generations that share similar names.
Why do some Land Rover model years overlap?
New generations were sometimes introduced while remaining examples of the previous model were still being registered. Registration year alone may therefore be misleading, so checking the VIN and physical specification is recommended.
Does selecting the correct model guarantee every part will fit?
No. Fitment can also depend on engine, gearbox, VIN, axle, suspension, model year and optional equipment. Always read the complete product description before ordering.
Where can I find parts after identifying my vehicle?
Visit the Parts by Vehicle page and select the correct model generation to browse relevant service parts, replacement components, accessories and upgrades.
