Hi all,
I have finally made it to the Land of Defender ownership
. I have had a disco for a few years now but I've always wanted a Defender.
Now here is the confusion. I have just been round the car taking the serial numbers and it has thrown up a couple of odditys. The head on the engine is from a 300 tdi, injection system etc, (it was sold as a 300tdi conversion) but the engine number on the block is 19JxxxC? :wtf: Is it possible to mate a 300tdi head with a 19J block?
Secondly I was looking for the gearbox and transfer box numbers which I found fine. The only oddity here is that the transfer box just has 8 numbers. There is no prefix or suffix which on every website i have found seems to make no sense. The Gearbox is definitely an R380. The transfer box has the ratio sticker next to the serial number 1.410:1 4wd. So that seemed normal but the serial number makes no sense. Any help would be much appreciated
