wadey Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 Hi, i am in spain and i am trying to change my 1985 LR 90 turbo diesel on to spanish plates , the guy that checks the id plates to the car pointed out that i only have the vin/chassis/frame no . on my car and my logbook which is salldvac7aa230400, in order to change the car over i need a second set of numbers which may be the engine number?? what he did say is that it is just a number needed to describe the car TYPE only, and if i can get that number from someone with the similar vehicle thet number can be used, so does anyone have a similar vehicle to mine to help out or can shed any light on this matter as in tracking down this number , any help much appreciated!!.

draper40 Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 I have a 1985 90, where will I find this number? Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest WALFY Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 The type approval number will be specific to each area of sales. ie you won't get a Defender type approval number for Canada as they were never sold there. I would suspect you'd need to contact LR direct for this info Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

western Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 Suggest you contact LR traceability dept for assistance or the records/archive section at the Heritge centre at Gaydon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yellow Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 Check with a Spanish Defender owner. The Type approval numbers are country specific so not many UK Defender owners would be able to help you out. I am sure Land Rover Spain would be able to though... I have a Belgian Type number stamped into the Vin plate. I guess that was done after import, as the type number is a different 'font' as the SALL number. Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gromit Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 what he did say is that it is just a number needed to describe the car TYPE only, and if i can get that number from someone with the similar vehicle thet number can be used When I registered my 110 in France, I had to write to LR in France for a "letter of conformity" or some such. This has the type approval number on it, which is country specific. I had to pay LR France money for the privilege too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
