A galvanised replacement chassis is the permanent answer and adds decades to the vehicle. The bulkhead rusts in the footwells and along the top rail, and on a Defender it is the other half of the same decision. The Discovery 2 is the Td5 era, with self levelling rear air on some cars and ACE active roll control on others, and both matter when you order suspension.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecification and fitment\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFits: Discovery 2, chassis code L318\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEngine: Td5 diesel and 4.0 V8\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProduction dates: 1998 to 2004\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eQuality: Galvanised or Painted\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart number: cross referenced to the factory part number for your VIN and confirmed before dispatch, because supersessions on these vehicles are frequent and one printed number would be wrong for somebody\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe failure this addresses: rotten rear chassis legs and crossmember on an otherwise sound chassis\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLabour time: about 16 hours, included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCoding: none.

Land Rover changes specification mid production, often by VIN rather than by model year, so send the VIN or the registration with the order and we confirm the part against the build data before anything leaves. It takes two minutes and it is the difference between a part that fits and a return. We are an independent Land Rover specialist and parts supplier. We are not Land Rover or Jaguar Land Rover and are not appointed by them; the model names are their trademarks and are used here to describe fitment. Everything we sell is chosen for vehicles that actually get used: towed with, loaded, driven through water and parked in fields, rather than for the brochure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhich version to buy\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eGalvanised is hot dip galvanised after fabrication, inside and out, which is what stops the rust that finished the original.
