2002 or 2003? model year differences?
 
I'm looking to buy a 2002 or 2003. What was the major differences/changes between these model years?

2003 had a better interior color scheme (alpaca), had the better headlights/front end, also has a bad motor... almost all of them even outside the vin range end up bad at some point... trust me i know also it doesnt have CDL... so if your 2002 has a CDL and you swap the front bumper (easy) then you are better off

dont buy an 03 unless you like spending money

buy an 04 with a CDL and a better motor

What is a CDL? Also does someone make a conversion kit for the headlights/bumper/grille update from '02 to '03?

Why don't you tell us what you plan to do with a Disco so we can better help you.

Just a daily driver. So the 2002's have a more reliable/durable motor than the 2003's? I like the look of the '03/'04 lights and bumper better. Is this an easy swap (bolt on), and who sells these parts or kit?

It is only certain 03's that have problems based on their vin. number. Don't worry about a CDL if this isn't going off road.
