Default Radio Harness Color Codes

I have a 1997 Discovery that i've just purchased. Trying to install an aftermarket cd player which is a pioneer. I bought the Metra 70-9400 harness from my local car audio store. Looking at what I think is the factory wiring harness none of the wires will match up. So i am wondering if anyone has a website or any info on a easy to read wiring diagram with color codes. Thanks again guy for any info you may have.

Default Also

Tried calling land rover and metra and both were no help since metra makes the harness to match factory which for some reason mine doesnt look like that. Theres blue, black red wires in all 3 connectors where mine only has one in each.

Default Update

I ended up getting it, Found out that the owner took it to a guy who must think he can do car audio stuff. He decide to cut every wire going to the amp and putting his own wires in. Had to whip out the good old multimeter and find out which wire was what. Also found out something wierd. The constant power wire would go to 12V then all the way down to 8V so the cd player wouldnt turn on fully. Ended up tieing it into another 12v constant wire wire a fuse on it. So hopefully i'll be good for now on. Thanks again for all the help.
