Tells you where to look in the guide that I posted in the Intro Thread.

Do you mean nothing there in the guide, or on your engine?

Try looking for flats elsewhere on the block with a number stamped on them. The engine may have been reconditioned, and restamped by the reconditioner. Degreaser, and a lighted mirror on an extendable stick, can be helpful.

If there isn't a number anywhere, it may have been ground off, not sure what to suggest in that case.

Can you post a pic of the number that you originally found, so that we can eliminate it from the enquiry?

Having said that, it doesn't sound like any Landrover engine number I have seen.

Is it stamped, or a raised number in the casting?

I am no expert on export.

Would have thought it likely, see if anyone pops up that knows about it.

I suppose it depends where you are exporting too?
But would suggest your V5C ( log book) numbers need to match that on the car or you could face problems.

Find the number it will be there but not always visible at first.
Ask the garage to write you a letter that they fitted engine xxxx into car with xxxx registration and then send this to DVLA. For a number change. Do check the chassis number too and make sure it matches.
DVLA actually don’t care about export when you send the slip off the V5C (or even online now maybe?)
It’s the new country of registration that might care when your numbers don’t match, or are not there then you could face a lot of problems.
