What are the late 2003/2004 D2 variations and what do they stand for? Also wondering specifically about the supposed "S" model. Is "S" short for "Stock with absolutely no extra goodies"? I know there's a HSE, HSE7, SE7, S, LE, G4.

 

i have an S. it has cruise control, power windows, seats and locks, and heated leather seats. and that's about it for fancy options and air conditioning. but that's what i wanted.
i have NO sunroofs, which i love because they can't leak if they aren't there.
NO ACE system.
NO SLS.
it's as basic as i could buy and i'd have it no other way. less things to break.
i believe the trims those years were S, SE, HSE. each adding luxuries and gadgets from where mine starts.

 

I'm in the market to buy a Disco from that period and as far as I know the trims were S, SE, SE7, HSE, HSE7, and the G4. If you're in the market to buy one, at least get an SE. Moonroofs were an option on the S, standard on the SE and higher trims was a homelink system, entertainment system, 12 speaker stereo system with subwoofer not available on the S, Rear parking sensors, headlight cleaners and fog lights, 25 degree departure angle, up 21 degrees stock was $750 on both S and SE, heated front seats were optional on all models, as were the third-row seats, the S doesn't have Leather upholstery, genuine wood dashboard insert, leather shift ****, the S also has 255/65HR16.0 BSW front tires while the other trims had 255/55HR18.0 BSW tires, same size in the back. The HSE came with all the features standard on the SE including HSE specific 11 speaker audio system, the 25 degree departure angle standard, as well as a wood center console and a decrepit (by today's standards) navigation system.

That should sum it up, let me know if I missed anything.

 

Anything with the -7 suffix means 7 passenger (SE7, HSE7) if it's not there it's a 5 passenger. The G4 is an expedition themed variant (although I'm not sure if it's actual expedition or just an appearance package). I've never heard of an LE (in reference to Land Rover, sounds like Toyota to me)

 

The Disco I'm inquiring about has no sunroofs and no ACE or SLS but it does have black leather interior. And there is a button on the radio that says "CD" but I did not see any CD slot. The trim ID has been removed from the truck to so I'm not 100% sure exactly what trim it is.

All that aside the CDL linkage seems to be installed but I can't tell for sure if it's just the shifter **** or if the complete linkage is there. And what I Neely want to know is about the traction control. Is there a button for TC? Would the S model have TC? And how do I determine if it's installed or not?

 

traction control was standard. that model looks just like my S. the CD player if you have the option is under the passenger seat.
the extra shifter *** is for 4 wheel high, and 4 wheel low. an '03 will not have the Center Locking Differential.

 

That is an S. If you don't want the sunroofs, then you might find an SE(7) with the rare sunroof delete option. The S models do not have leather upholstery, it uses some kind of vinyl (pleather).

 

And by the way, here is a guide that tells you what to look for when you drive out to see it in person:
