Discovery 4 Underbody Protection Package with Fitting

Underbody Protection Package with Fitting for the Discovery 4: sump, gearbox, transfer box, fuel tank and steering guards, fitted.

These are the packages we would build for our own vehicles before a long trip: the parts that fail far from home, the protection that stops a rock ending the journey, and the equipment that makes living out of the vehicle possible. Each one lists its weight, because an expedition vehicle is usually overweight before it has left the country and payload is the thing people forget to check. The Discovery 4 is the Discovery 3 made better, but the 3.0 V6 diesel carries a crankshaft failure risk that every owner ought to know about.

Fitting

Labour guide: about 5 hours. 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.

Which version to buy

Standard is the standard specification, which is what most vehicles need and what we would quote unless you told us otherwise. Heavy Duty is the heavy duty specification for expedition, towing and commercial use, rated beyond the factory figures.
