Thys Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 I checked my Discovery's VIN Number, using the legend as given in a previous post. The 9th digit of mine is the letter :"T". It is a 1996 model, but the coding given uses a different letter for 1996. what else is the meaning of the 9th letter "T" in the VIN Number?

cipx2 Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 The 10th digit is the model year. If it's a "T" then it's a 1996 model. Try this decoder: http://www.clifton.nl/index.html?calvin.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
