cp rog Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 Hi Guys, Bit of a silly question but; I am currently working abroad and would like to buy a snorkel for my 1996 3.9 v8 Discovery. The thing is i cant remember if it is fitted with ABS or not!! I have had the chassis number E-mailed to me by my Wife, but cant find any clues online as to wether or not abs has been fitted. The chassis number is : SALLJGMM7MA155133 The engine number is : 35D12026B Any help would be MOST welcome! Cheers, paul. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BogMonster Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 It's a 1995 model year from the VIN but there is no way to tell whether it has ABS or not apart from looking up the original build spec, or much easier, looking under the bonnet. It was always an option on the 95-98 model year vehicles, never standard. You could ask her to check: Does it have a yellow (ABS) warning light on the dash when you first drive off? or Is there a big silver thing with lots of pipes coming out of it attached to one wing?

cp rog Posted December 5, 2009 Author Share Posted December 5, 2009 Hey Guys, Thanks for your help and quick replies! I can't remember seeing any yellow lights on the dash when driving off, OR any large silver thing on the inner wing. The Mrs is off out todat to pick up Xmas tree, so I'll get her to have another look underneath the bonnet! Cheers, Fellas! Paul. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teabag Posted December 5, 2009 Share Posted December 5, 2009 ABS was standard in 1995 on the ES, standard in 1996 on the XS and ES, 1997 no change other then the special editions of that year and may or may not have ABS, and standard 1998 on the XS, GS and ES.
