New to the group, be easy with me...
We just purchased a 2004 Discovery 2, SE7 model Land Rover...I was doing some reading on it with this site and others. I'm trying to determine if my particular model has the airbag system installed. It does not make any noticeable height changes when we start it or while we drive it. Was this a feature that came with all SE7 models or just randomly? Thanks in advance for any help.
We've also purchased a '05 LR3 SE, so I'm sure that I will be back here for some more questions....

You can get full shop and owner manuals at links below for Disco, it is called the RAVE (Rovers A'int Very Economical), and see this one for the LR3, a much more complex vehicle https://landroverforums.com/forum/lr...light=download

SLS along with ACE was an option, not a standard feature.
For the original poster, how mechanical are you, might want to look at my sticky thread at the top of this section on majors service for your truck, and do it your self, with some help from us if uncertain on how, that way you will get to learn what makes your Disco. Make sure that you verify if the front drive shaft has 1 grease fitting on each of the 3 u-joints, if not replace or rebuild it before it fails taking out the tranny with it.

Here you can find the best help and some of the smartest techs around. People that care and don't have a clue who you are! You have came to the right place! All you need to do is look on top of the rear axle for air bags or springs that will answer your question. And don't get the disco panic lol but do go threw Mike's major service and get as many tasks performed as possible.
Long live the Rover

Option on 5 seaters. Show me a 7 seater without SLS from the factory with some proof it wasn't converted.
I took the switch out when I converted my 99 7 seater to coils. There are plenty of indications that the 7 seaters were required by law to have SLS at least in Europe.

I'd be more concerned with whether or not, like Mike said, you're front propshaft has been rebuilt.
With that said, look for this button on the dash. If it's missing, you don't have SLS.
But, you never know what they'd done to the vehicle, so the very best way to confirm is to look under the rear, as has been said. If you see this (black bag/balloon-like structure) - then you have SLS...
If, instead, you see springs in that location, then you don't have SLS.
