BT520WD has a 9:35.1 I think is a high compression engine is that correct

oops sorry put it in a new topic instead of reply

some engines were swopped from low to high compression, some were replaced due to water damage others remained in the country of intended use spec.

BT52 OWD should have an engine No of 56D64642A, part of the chassis No is 233 indicating HC engine fitted

Mine was one of the D2's that had a HC fitted from its orignal LC one!

thanks ant,

if you check LR data it states that the 233 in the vin is LC engined and 333 in the vin is HC engine. however there were a few changes made:D:D

Is that correct?

As I have a LC and my vin has the 333 in it?

My car is 233 in chassis number and HC may they recorded it the wrong way round? It is Landrover after all!!
