With a make up like that it ought to be on a Q plate and paying full road tax - pulling tricks like this makes losing the whole tax exempt thing more likely.Have you not read about the points system to retain tax exempt status,from memory you need 8 points.

The engine only counts as one point on a rebuilt vehicle.......

so how many points for rr chassis running gear and braking system

top drive · May 7, 2011

unless its a pre 73 RR - fack all points....

wulls · May 7, 2011

I think it's 5 for the chassis, 2 For the suspension, 2 for the axles and 1 for the engine and transmission ( each)

i don't think the age of the doner vehicle is relevant - it's registered as a S2 but has had a chassis change. It's either a Q plated S2 or a modified rangie and its registration should reflect that.

I had an SLTi but have seen some of the other engines.
As far as I know the 3.0 litre is a HA, I think it might well be the same as a 4-182 perkins! Motor and Diesel will know about them, look them up on google. I don't remember either the 4-182 or HA having ally rocker cover though.
If it's anything like the SLTi it is a fantastic engine.
Not sure about teh HA but the SLTi spares were seriously expensive from motor and diesel, they took the ****, it was far cheaper to buy them from Australia! They came out of Mazda and Ford vans/trucks sold in that part of the world.

i bought an old rangerover with one of these engines fitted it is 3 L mine is non turbo and has the ally rocker cover only around 80 hp i think.. they are a perkins 4182 made under licence by mazda in early 80s , some spares are avalable as they were commonly fitted in hyster forklift trucks starters , water pumps ect,
