Im sorry guys for being so thick, can someone explain the difference between d8 and d9 and so on? sorry again

I'm sure there's a post somewhere for this but, basically,

D8 -1996 to 1999 (until vin VF39?????8079999)
*mainly* with the slatted grille
indicator repeaters in the side trim
clock along side the instruments
sane electrics



D9 1999 to 2004 (from vin VF38?????8080000
*mainly* with the honeycomb grille
indicator repeaters above the trim
hazard warning light switch along side the instruments
until late 2001 semi-multiplex, full mux after

Nuff?

think this is one for the mods as it comes up so many times, maybe we need a general knowledge section.

Yet again i do apologize for not knowing the diff but thanks for the reply

D8 and D9 are sort phase I and phase II in another words. Appearance wise there are major differences on the front and rear lights, grill, both bumpers.

Mechanically, Suspension setup, gear cables instead links, abs as standard. As a result D9 got better safety standards.

Electrically, the wiring system got multiplexed with BSIs Introduced.

No need for apologising,what you dont know,you ask.
D9 is for facelift,D8 is the first line of 406.

cool thanks again im sure i will get used to all the lingo lol
