Exterior: Discovery 4=nicer headlights, more LED's, different grill, different tail lights, no roof rails as stock. Discovery 3 more versatile, simpler exterior

Engine: Discovery 4=5.0L SCV8 or 3.0L V6; both are nice. Discovery 3=4.4L V8, or (in very rare cases) a 4.0L V6; 4.4 is proven, simple, good compromise

Tranny: Discovery 4=8speed, Discovery 3=6speed, your choice really.

Wheels: Discovery 4=19" wheels only, this sucks (can buy aftermarket 18"s, but this=$$$). Discovery 3=18" wheels stock, great size for tire selection, still look good.

Differentials: Discovery 4=most problems fixed, more $$$ for the HD than before. Discovery 3=expect some problems, still okay though, ARB makes lockers if you can't find HD package models.

PM me for exact pricing differences and specifications...
