  1999

  The 1999 Land Rover Discovery was the second model year of the redesigned Series II generation, which debuted for 1998 with revised exterior styling, a longer rear overhang, and an updated interior. It was powered by a 4.0-liter V8 engine paired with a four-speed automatic transmission, with rear air suspension fitted on most examples. Common service considerations include head gasket failures on the V8, air suspension compressor and spring wear, electrical faults, and corrosion on the body and chassis. Regular cooling system maintenance and inspection of the front axle and drivetrain components are also frequently recommended.
