INFORMATION VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION NUMBER (VIN)
The Vehicle Identification Number and the
recommended maximum vehicle weights are stamped
on a plate riveted to the brake pedal box in the engine
compartment. The VIN is also stamped on a plate
visible through the LH side of the windscreen.
a.Identification
b.Maximum permitted laden weight for vehicle
c.Maximum vehicle and trailer weight
d.Maximum road weight-front axle
e.Maximum road weight-rear axle
f.Paint code
g.Trim level
The number is also stamped on the RH side of the
chassis to the rear of the front lashing eye, see J6089.
The Vehicle Identification Number identifies the
manufacturer, model range, wheel base, body type,
engine, steering, transmission, model year and place
of manufacture. The following example shows the
coding process.
SAL LD H M 8 7 X A
SAL= World manufacturer identifier
LD= Land Rover Defender
H= 110 inch,V= 90inch,K= 130 inch
M= 4 door Station Wagon,A= 90 Soft Top, Hard Top,
Pick-up,B= 2 door Station Wagon,E= 2 door 130
Crew cab,F= 4 door 130 Crew cab,H= 130 High
Capacity Pick-up
8= Td5 engine.
7= RH drive, 5 speed manaul,8= LH drive, 5 speed
manual
X= 1999 MY, volume build.

INFORMATION Front axle serial number
Stamped on the front of LH axle tube, inboard of
radius arm mounting bracket.
Rear axle serial number
Stamped on the rear of LH axle tube, inboard of
spring mounting.FAULT DIAGNOSTIC EQUIPMENT
TESTBOOK
For Defender models fitted with the vehicle Anti-theft
Immobilisation and Alarm System, diagnostic
equipment, named TestBook, is available to assist in
the diagnostic and fault finding abilities of the Dealer
workshop. A diagnostic connector, located under the
front centre seat, or cubby box, as shown below, is
provided to facilitate the procedures.
If an exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) system is fitted,
this too can be checked using TestBook. A diagnostic
connector, also located under the front centre seat or
cubby box, is provided.
Features of Testbook include :-
Fully upgradable support for the technician.
Structured diagnostics to accommodate all skill levels.
Touch screen operation.
Direct print out of screen information and test results.

INFORMATION READING THIS SUPPLEMENT
This Supplement is divided into sections shown on the
contents page, alongside a range of icons, familiar to
service technicians.
Relevant information is contained within each of these
sections. These are further divided into the following
sub-sections which appear at the foot of each page :-
Description and operation.
Adjustment.
Repair.
Overhaul.
To avoid repeating information through the sections,
where part of the repair operation impacts on another
section, a cross reference is given to direct the reader
to where the information is sited.
For example:
The maintenance section states the need to renew
drive belt. A cross reference sites this information in:
