First time Land Rover owner

dose it have a turbo ?

Yes I sent a pic of the turbo it is on the right hand side

You can see the turbo in the 2nd and 4th pic

Can anybody give me any advice on the series? Also am I missing a hose that runs into the air cleaner on the front left side?

that engine was not fitted in the series land rover

it looks like a 19j engine from the 90/110

How can you tell the difference?

this is a 19j Google Image Result for http://farm7.staticflickr.com/6013/5942986499_ac042988cc_z.jpg

this is a series diesle Google Image Result for http://c7716.r16.cf2.rackcdn.com/RN-Forum/users/TSR53/Series-IIA-diesel9.jpg

I am really confused now Chris. My engine doesn't really look like the configurations from the links you sent me. I'm sorry if I'm being a pain I'm really new at this. Is there any way up use the engine number to figure this out?

Hi, all I am new to this site myself joined it cus its full of good stuff and useful tips from people who really know the vehicles....I dont know stacks about these but try the link below, this site has loads of useful history about landys may or may not have what you want but could be helpful later.

As stated earlier you may have a replacement motor in yours.

Thank you for the help. I guess now I am just trying to figure out what type of engine it is, 19J or other, and how to figure that out.

its not a std 19j have a look at the number the flat on top of cam gallery

I have a pic of a number I found on driver side top. It reads 556114 C.A. Then a E then 1984.

engine number wouldnt be there but on other side ,it looks like series 3 head on 2.5 block with added turbo

Everything I'm reading is saying the engine number should be in the side if the engine. Us this correct? And if so what is this the number that I found stamped on top of the engine?

Now we're getting some where lol. So what's a good way to attack this engine? It runs great except for a little white smoke in the morning when it's cold. If I wanted to start refurbing the engine? Probably a pretty broad question

Santana engines

In 1956 the Rover Company held talks with Spanish engineering company 'Metalúrgica de Santa Ana S.A.' (later to be renamed Santana Motor with the aim of starting Land Rover assembly in Spain. Under the terms of the agreement Santana would initially build Land Rovers from Complete Knock Down kits shipped from Britain, but locally-manufactured content would gradually be increased until the entire vehicles were built from scratch in Spain. Santana would also have exclusive sales rights in Spain, South America, Central America and North Africa, selling both Santana- and Land Rover-badged vehicles in these markets where necessary. Production at Santana started in 1958. From 1962 Santana began to improve and modify the Land Rover design to meet the demands of its own markets. These were the common demands of more power, better ride comfort and improved refinement. To this end Santana produced several unique versions of the Land Rover engine designs it had rights to. These included 3.3-litre (201 cu.) six-cylinder versions of the 2.25-litre petrol and diesel engines in the late 1960s and a 75-horsepower turbocharged version of the 2.25 diesel in 1982. While there is no evidence of the six-cylinder engines ever being evaluated by Solihull, the 2.25TD engine design was used to provide input and experience for the development of the Land Rover

hope this helps

So basically I might have a hybrid bastard engine is what I'm taking from that post. Thanks for the info Chris.

One last question. It seems to me if you look at my pics that I am missing a hose that should run from front of truck to the round filter housing, I'm assuming that's what it is,

That my friend is a 19j td engine. It's more than likely the pipe from the top goes to atmosphere or in some cases people put a hole in the top of the chassis and plug it in there because the oil mist preserves the chassis from the inside. I would imagine its a series 4 as a guess because its a Santana . If it were a land rover it would be a 90. Same age as mine.

probably not a std air box,engine could be santanas version but with added turbo
