alantd Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 I'm sure Ralph put a fairly comprehensive description of this on here but I can't find it for the life of me. Has anyone got a guide to decyphering the VIN? IIRCC it includes year and original cab design (SW/HT...) Please could someone (Ralph?) put me out of my misery.

western Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 PM reply sent with info included. The calvin link says this ------------ SAL Manufacturer code: Land Rover LD Model: Defender (for early models: Ninety, or One Ten) V Wheel base: 92.9 inch, but designated 90 A Body type: 2-door: Pickup, hood cab, truck cab, or soft/hard top B Engine type: 2.5 litre diesel turbo (model 19J) 7 Steering and transmission: Right-hand drive (RHD), 5-speed manual (LT85, LT77, LT77S, R380 or other) A Model year: 1983, 1984 A Assembly location: Solihull, UK ****** Serial number [deleted to protect your truck] the above agrees with my EPC info. looks to me your 90 has a different chassis from a earlier vehicle.
