Hi all, looking for a bit of help with a Disco 1 Paint code! The Vin is blank (apart from the vin number lol!) There is a code for touch up sprays (RTC 6634A). Landrover Dealership has given me three colours: Carrigada, County and ardennes Green!! I have no idea which one is applicable to my car, i do know that the are all LRC 413 if this helps?? :confused::confused:

P.s. the car is a 1994 Discovery 1 300TDI!!

Cheers
 
i know that carrigida green was renamed ardennes green
might have been around the time 200 to 300 change took place, face lift model "new" colour;)
 
Yeah sounds about right mate, the trouble i had with them is that all of the names come under the same code.....so in theory land rover just renamed the paints to 'improve' thier range of colours lol!!:clap2: The plot thickened when i brought some LRC413 from halfords.....mixed whilst i waited! But the colours wrong!? (But i was shopping in halfrods so ya know!) I think the last alternative is to buy LRC413 from a land rover dealer an see what it comes up like.:5bblush5:
 
Hi...my '93 Disco 200TDi is also Carrigada green......Carrigada, Ardennes and County all the same colour, they called the same colour a different name on different models....Disco, RRC, Defender :confused: :doh:

I bought some paint from LR using the code under mybonnet...painted a grill not fitted it yet to see how the colour matches up
though
 
If any one is good with telling a colour from a photo please check out my album in profile! not having much luck with land rover.....they tell me that my vehicles details were not put on the system when it was first registered (94)! Pain in the arse!!:5bbeatdeadhorse5:

Click to expand...

how wrong was the colour(ie did it spray orange?) the paint on your disco will have faded/oxidised etc , and mettalic colours are a sod to match at the best of times
 
Thanks Howardo i thought as much after the 413 looked wrong! Gratch the paint from halfords has the wrong metallic flec in it.......its more of a dark green whereas mines a more yellowey green, the paint hasnt faded as its the same outside as it is inside doors etc.
 
Thanks for looking chap, i guessed as much, what would cause the lack of registered info? i have the original number plate that it was first registered with (private) would that help in the search?
 
Hi guys! quick update....

Land Rover insist this is the right code for the vehicle....i have used the 413 but ive noticed there are 2 with bracketed letters after the number anyone know what they mean?

HUL Ardennes, Carrigada, County Green Mic 2ct 90-95 LRC.413
