They have a lot of parts from what looks like a well-specced 110. If any one is interested the do have the e-diff and the hiring harness for it (the major damage to the vehicle seems to have been front passenger side). They also have brembo brake calipers in red for both sides at the front and rear plus disks for all four wheels.

Prices are quite high but they are open to offers.

 

I may not have the exact info, but this is a generic question on D110 s: don't all modules get "married" from the factory with a VIN - like they are not going to be interchangeable even if it is the same exact model ?

 

I don't think the system software is that smart. There have been other threads pointing out that the controls exist for all the optional systems within Pivi Pro and you just have to pay some dude in Kazakhstan (and a local LR mechanic with the right connectors) to enable them. And there has been somebody else who put an e-diff into a Defender that didn't come with one.

It's hard for me to imagine that the system software authenticates each driveline component against a master list of what is supposed to be installed - although that is certainly technically possible.

There must be some way around it - or how would replacement parts get installed after an accident?

 

All very good points. However, the reality for me was totally different.
Here is why and how:
- my wife got a Discovery MY'22 about 3 months ago. It came from the factory with 0 oz. of oil in the transfer case. We did not know, and drove it home. Less than 50 miles, transfer case - kaput .
Ok, so I went to the dealership which was above and beyond trying to fix it and accommodate us. Long story short, it took 2 1/2 months for the transfer case to arrive stateside.
After a month of waiting on my new car to be fixed, I asked the dealer to see if they can get a transfer case & module from another vehicle ( unsold or a "new" wreck) and use it. After all it cost them money too - loaners and all - and I would be a bit happier.
This is where they told me that every replacement module that comes in ( and there are about 96 modules there - Defender too ) needs to come "clean". Like out of the box.
Once they put it in, it needs to get "married" to the vehicle's VIN - not sure if they do this in the shop, or the connect the car to TeamViewer and some tech in the cloud does that.
Is like a hard burn. Once written for that VIN, it can not be deleted ( or not officially at least ).
So, it is not a world data base, is a bit simpler, but still a pain.
Think of a phone, with eSIM, where that eSIM serial number, will belong to that phone forever.
Basically they don't want you to pull modules from a wreck, and re-use it. They loose the ability to make even more money....
Then again, this may be all bogus, and it could work, or could have only certain modules "locked down".

 

The Discovery II had linked modules back in 1999, so I would be surprised if they weren't linked in some way. Using dealer level diagnostics you would be able to marry up new modules.

 

Is that the display with a digital odometer? Could that be to prevent someone from putting in a hacked version that displays less miles?

I realize that's off-the-wall but why else would they go thru the trouble?

 

If it's the dashboard it's definitely displaying the odometer. If it stores that information in the dash I don't know but it seems like multiple modules store that to prevent odometer fraud nowadays

 

Reminds me of buddy that bought a new Jeep Grand Cherokee that came with different ratios for the front/rear diffs - probably lasted about as long as yours!
