disco model

woody:
after a few years out of 4x4 i am looking to by a discovery 1996 to 1998 300tdi
my problem is trying to work out the differences between models i know that they go something like s, gs,es,xs
but i saw an ad for an s spec model with a wood veneer dash????
i saw an es badge on the wing and an xs graphic on the lower body????
some discos have solid headrests and dont
many of the models sold in autotrader dont have the model advertised
so what spec to what model
and i know that its the condition of the vehicle that is important rather than age.  :!:

As you can see from the massive response.........

None of us has a clue which model has which spec :lol:  :lol:

I'm pretty sure that the ES is the top spec tho with all the toys and leather etc :wink:

beast5680:
I have a 300 tdi auto ES which has aircon,leather seats which are heated and move electrically,ABS,twin electric sunroofs,auto dimming rear view mirror,cruise control,front fogs in the valance,two tone boost alloys and heated front screen and driver and passenger airbags

My friend has a GS which has firestyle alloys,manual sunroofs,cruise control,half leather seats,no passenger airbag,front fogs

The xs was a lower spec to the es, it only came with half leather seats where as the ES has 'full' leather.

If you are after the top spec you need a 1996 onwards, I have a 1995 300TDi ES, and I don't have heated or electric seats (just leather), I think it was about 1997 that they added the heated front windscreen, though I'm not sure if this was standard fit or an option.

What ever you are looking for - the better the spec the easier it is to 'live' with the car (such as in this weather I would hate to have no air-con), but the mechanical condition is probably of more importance as repair bills can be huge unless you can do things yourself.
