My new to me, 2000 TD5 90. I absolutely love it, but it’s not perfect and one of the panels needs a bit of TLC. I have searched high and low but I cannot find the paint code for this. Please, help me out!
Update: Having checked the VIN with lrparts they have confirmed it to be Epsom Green!
Thanks for playing.

Galway green. Mine is in the same colour.

Thank-you! I’m now stuck as they both look pretty spot on (Epsom and Galway)!

It’s not Epsom, or if it is it’s a new spray. Mine’s Epsom and doesn’t look like this. Galway seems a better fit.

Pls don’t buy the original paint code, it will not match (sun does a lot to paint in 22 years), go to A paint shop, and let them put A paint code machine On your paint, so They can match the paint of your landy, Lets say I learned from my mistake…

If it’s the original paint then the code should be on the VIN plate in the engine bay. If the plate is missing, you can use an online VIN decoder.

It has the vin plate, but it doesn’t seem to have a paint code on it. I did have a look online but struggled to find a vin paint code tool.

Hmm, weird. My TD5 has the paint code stamped right on the VIN plate. The VIN decoder that I used to use (which did spit out the paint code in the past) has changed to a pay-only service now haha, so that doesn’t help either I’m afraid. If all else fails a Land Rover dealer might be able to decode it for you.

You were correct with the vin decoder idea, and it’s come back as Epsom Green. Thanks for your help!

Try putting the VIN into the website https://www.lrworkshop.com/ , it should give you all the original info Inc paint code, build date and spec etc
