When buying Land Rover auto parts, knowing which components to buy may not just be a matter of finding the right model name. As with many car brands, the names of models sold in North America may not be the same as those in the rest of the world.

Land Rover is a British automaker. Designed mainly for military and work-related driving, its vehicles excelled at off-roading and still do, despite being reworked for the consumer market. An auto-review television show in Britain even test-drove a Land Rover Discovery up a mountain that had never been summited by a vehicle before.
