Hello everyone,
Please excuse me if this stuff is covered in the FAQ. Wasn't actually able to find one for this sub.
I am currently stationed in the UK, and will be PCSing back to the US shortly. I have a beat up old 1991 Defender 110, which was formerly a radio truck for the 154 Scottish Regiment, or one of its subordinate squadrons.
The VIN for the Defender is SALLDHAC7HA903350, which would indicate that it has an 12J series engine.
My certificate of authenticity from the British Motor Museum says that she started life with an 11J engine.
Reading up on British military Land Rovers, in that time period she should have had a 19J engine, which she does.
I filed a FOIA request to the British Army with all the information I have to (hopefully) get a MERLIN and JAMES report, which should illuminate a lot of her maintenance and service history. Haven't heard back from them yet, but it has only been 6 days, and they have 20 to respond.
Am I going to get a like for like engine swap paper done to get her back in the states? Am I totally buggered? How in the world do I even get a like for like paper?
Posting this exact same thing over on.
Thanks in advance guys!
