I am not 100% sure that this is what you need, but we do have a process for checking/changing the Discovery 2 V5c to document that it is a valid G4 Edition vehicle. The process was written because the majority of D2 Editions were actually logged as a GS Model. You can follow the process to request Land Rover check their database, using the VIN as an identifier, to confirm whether your vehicle is truly a G4 vehicle. They will email you a letter with the confirmation that you can send to DVLA to update your V5c. Here is the link to the instructions: https://forum.g4ownersclub.com/Topic78275.aspx Hope this works for you, it certainly did for myself and a few other members too. By all means make contact with me if you have any further questions. Many thanks and good luck.. Many Thanks Paul Martin Discovery 2 G4 LE Automatic Java Black G4 DCV (DC53 FHD) Previous G4's G4 Defender 110 - BV55 ZBP 2006 Selections Vehicle Fleet No: 115

Cheers Perry Hi Perry, Apologies, I thought that you were a member of the club so the direct link will not work for you. This is just one of the benefits you receive when you become a member. However, I have copied and pasted the process for you below. Would you be able to share some pics of your vehicle, especially the interior. If I can see that I will be able to tell you immediately whether your vehicle is a Genuine G4 Limited Edition.. This is a process for requesting DVLA to correct a V5c document to list the vehicle/model details of the V5c from a TD5 GS to a Discovery G4 LE. Before contacting DVLA direct, read on to potentially save you many weeks waiting for a response from DVLA, only to be told they are unable to do anything without confirmation from Land Rover that your vehicle is what you say it is...: Scenario: V5c currently lists your Land Rover Discovery as a Discovery TD5 GS model and you would like to get the document corrected by DVLA to show as a Discovery G4 LE . DVLA will not be able to correct your V5c unless the vehicle details are verified by a letter from Land Rover on headed paper. How to contact Land Rover requesting the information that DVLA require: First you will need to scan, or take a picture of, the front cover and first page of your V5c document. The scans or images can then be emailed to the following email address: lradvice@jaguarlandrover.com, with an explanation that you are in the process of requesting DVLA to correct your V5c document, which is currently listing the wrong vehicle model details on the V5c document. Can a Land Rover headed letter, with the correct vehicle/model codes be created for you to send to DVLA, in order for DVLA to complete the V5c document update please? It may take a week or so, but you should receive a letter back from Land Rover listing 2 codes, a DVLA code and a MVRIS (Motor Vehicle Registration Information System) code. Print the letter and send this to DVLA along with your incorrect V5c to the usual DVLA address: DVLA, Swansea, SA99 1BA This part of the process could take many weeks, so some patience is needed. I cannot promise that this little detail will add any value to your beloved D2 G4 LE, but at least it will make it that much more special than a standard GS. Good luck! Many Thanks Paul Martin Discovery 2 G4 LE Automatic Java Black G4 DCV (DC53 FHD) Previous G4's G4 Defender 110 - BV55 ZBP 2006 Selections Vehicle Fleet No: 115
