INFORMATION LOCATION OF IDENTIFICATION NUMBERS
Engine serial number - 300Tdi Engine
The 300Tdi engine number is stamped on the cylinder
block on the right hand side of the engine above the
camshaft front cover plate.
Engine serial number - Mpi engine
Stamped on the R.H. face of the cylinder block
adjacent to the gearbox.
Engine serial number - V8i engine
Stamped on a cast pad on the cylinder block, between
numbers 3 and 5 cylinders.
NOTE: The appropriate engine
compression ratio is stamped above the
serial number.
Main gearbox R380
Stamped on a cast pad on the bottom right hand side
of the gearbox.
Transfer gearbox LT230
The serial number is stamped on the left hand side of
the gearbox casing below the mainshaft rear bearing
housing adjacent to the bottom cover.
Front and rear axles
Serial number is stamped on top of the left hand axle
tube.
