Need a few answers

For my SVA I need to prove in some way the date of manufacture of the engine

so they can test the emmisions for that year, If I can't find any proof they test it to the current standards

Anyone have a chart or anything giving the date for a 200 Tdi # 12L-389**A Discovery motor

Tried Land Rover already......no chance !

And

What cc is a Tdi 24?? cc

Max net power....KW rating (not BHP its not acceptable)?

Max power engine speed RPM (RPM which max power is produced not max RPM)?

Max road speed....for the Hybrid ?

Lt77/LT230/3.54 diffs on 265/75/16's BFG Muds for the SVA

Not sure there is a chart for engine number age - best bet is to try and find out from LR Traceability what vehicle it was originally fitted to and that will tell you the age from the VIN number.

2495cc
Think it is 83kw
and I think max power is at 4500rpm....

may be able to confirm both of those from old stuff I have at work

definitely 2495
i thought 4200rpm though.

killerwhat?

Max unloaded speed is 4500rpm, 4200 sounds sensible for max power.

Max speed? I can do some engineering calcu-maths if you like Les, but otherwise it sounds to me like you need a long stretch of private test track, or else some 'educated guesswork'...

Hi Les

You can try LR Classic parts department. They should have a full list of engine numbers and know year of manufacture.

Also try Heritage Museum at Gaydon, they hold LR VIN records and may have Engine #'s too.

Les,

With that configuration your calculated max speed is 111.1mph ………. But that does not take into account the ultra dynamic shape of the hybrid, transmission losses etc and the ‘balls’ of the driver. .... you gonna need a lot of power to to get to those numbers ....... tell them about 85 mph.

Heres the screen capture

But Les, that's the engine we got out of the nicked 200Tdi that you bought off that dodgy geezer over in Swansea...

hope that helps

A printed parts catalogue if such exists, is acceptable. Who/where/what did you contact at LR? I have a letter from them giving date of manufacturer for my lwt - I can pass that on to you. the address that is - are LR some cowboy outfit that does not have records to date an engine from a number?

Reason for max speed is to ensure the speed rating of your tyres is correct - you may wish to adjust the max. speed accordingly ... but don't put it so low as the SVA folks are well clued up to all the tricks; (if this is a problem then you could put in lower ratio diffs? - but then your speedo wil be out ...) likewise with the max power/rpm (noise test) - probably won't affect you unless you've got a straight through box.

Thanks everyone...need to get the forms in the post before I go on Hols
