Hiya fellow landy owners. wow just brought my first landy but i'm embarrased to say im stuck all ready. I'm a qualified mechanic 3 years experience so i know what im looking for. But basically the previous owner said it's sherpa vvan engine< now this goes over my head but its a 2.0l longitudally mounted engine. I have take photos please help me to identify this. i beleive the air box and diesel filter is standard land rover but the engine requires a good flush and oil change< on top of this a new sump gasket, so basically the work can begin asap hehe. hope you experienced peeps can help me with this. Many Thanks

Certainly looks like a sherpa diesel not sure if theres some connection to the montego diesel/turbo diesels?
That diesel filter is a generic type fitted to almost everything new elements are about 2 quid each!

Hi there, just a word of warning, you said something about flushing the engine, please be aware that by flushing you maybe dislodging various lumps of crud that have been happily stuck in a quiet corner of your engine doing no harm then it is disturbed an distributed through the oil ways maybe blocking them. Hopefully it will all be fine. I would suggest doing an oil change after the first time you go for a run and just do it early.

Best of luck
and I think it is a Perkins too.
