Disco 2 Engine Number Prefix

Texas2703 · Sep 26, 2023

Evening All!
New here from Australia

Currently own a D2A with a 4ltr.
Trying to decipher engine number.
Engine has been changed at some stage previous to me. Was 56D…now XM60. Is this a LR replacement? Updated liners, etc?
Any info would be great!

Cheers from OZ

I'm keen to see if anyone can answer this as my 2004 4.6 (sold in us) has a XM50...... number on the block next to the dipstick.
I have no info from the previous owners time concerning any repairs.

Nor have I found anything googling around.

You may get some answers!

but it might just be that the '56D' engine went

and has been replaced with your XM60! If that's the case?? Just drive it!!

like the rest of use! We sort the problems when they hit us

Thanks Kev!

No problem with driving it

pulls like a train. Just wanting some clarity on whether it has been “re-manufactured” with the good bits! From what I’m led to believe, it’s a factory replacement

I don't know anything about the number.
But I would say that I have never heard LR ever fitted top hat liners or improved the block casting to stop liner movement.
Sorry
