Very simple question here! Am I right in thinking that the 2.5 N/A engine was designed, manufactured and built by BKV?

The 2.5 N/A is a LAND ROVER engine.

Pure and simple.

Are you confusing it with the Italian 2.4 diesel that a few range Rovers used?

So it wasn't a 2.5 at all, right?

makes a difference when you're ordering spares!

check the cylinder heads just to start. The 2.4 has four of them!

It is a 2.5 N/A diesel!

Here is the short video on youtube that made me question this:
YouTube - BKV engine start-up and run

It is entitled - 'BKV Engine start up and run'

It looks Helluva like a 2.5 turbo LandRover engine in a LandRover to me.

What does BKV stand for do you suppose?

By the way, I would have shot them noisy crows first. What a racket.

It does just look like any normal engine. I thought that BKV was perhaps the manufacturer, hence the topic, but it could be someones initials or something along those lines.

I did wikipedia search BKV, and it comes up with this:
BKV - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I think it's an operating service like Arriva / First, rather than an engine manufacturer. It remains a mystery to me, and yes, the crows are bloody annoying, their call sounds like a bag of ****

Not the one in the video! The one I have bought is a 2.5 N/A, the video is a 2.5 Turbo, but I was trying to figure out what the hell BKV meant
