Engine numbers

Apr 23, 2007 18 Replies

I used to have a link to a site that listed Landrover engine numbers but it's gone astray. I've got a messed-with Defender to do some work on and I'm trying to make sure I've identified the engine correctly (a V8). I



*think* it's a 3.9 but I want to be sure. Can anyone help with a link please?

also - i wish you would put something after the 'steve' in your name as it always confuses me which steve i am replying too!

Not as far as I can see and remember. Your link only seems to do VIN's but it's the engine number decode that I'm after. Thanks anyway.

sorry. didnt check it. just remembered i thought it was called 'calvin'. you could search through the google groups archive for A.F.L? might find it?

:-)

Yep, I'm trying that but so far come up blank. I've thought about it a bit more and I'm sure it also listed P5B and SD1 engine numbers. More searching......

Steve something

Found one! It's not the one I remember, but it's good enough.

Yes I saw that one but their list of numbers doesn't go as high as 36D. Hmm. 36D..... ( . )( . )

36D is a 3.9 rangerover automatic. Badger.

No, 36D is what snuggles against my back most nights. ;-)

indeed. mind, I bet they pay for it in other ways...

Damned right. But SWMBO has left recently so the search is on for a younger, blonder, sexier model (preferably with a father who owns a brewery). ;-)

you can dream, innit. I know a chap who paired up with a then-young lass whose parents owned a noted pub. Mind, they've since sold it and retired.

No deprived I would say 40DD :-) smug !

Size isn't everything, bumpy off roading causes me no discomfort ;-) (and no, I'm not saying)

Lizzy

My wife would agree. Although she occasionally hankers after a bit more evening dress filling. Something I have cured by not taking her out to posh places any more ;-)

Also sister-in-law of a mate _hates_ his Porsche something-or-other because of the discomfort caused to her upper works by the awful ride.

On balance the ladies I know who have expressed any thoughts in my hearing seem to prefer, how shall I put it?, a more compact, racing line to anything else.
