Hi all.
I bought a 2001 3.0 diesel in the Uk three years ago and have been using it here in Africa on a Carnet. I noticed a few months ago, while looking for the radio code, that the engine had been replaced in 2005. I have been trying, unsuccessfully, to find out where on the engine they stamp the number. There is a number on the cylinder head but I am looking for one on the block. Or is the one on the cylinder head where they put it. I also cant find the Vin number on the Chassis although there is that plate under the hood with it on.
I look forward to any help with this as I will now be very nervous when crossing frontiers.
Regards.
Barry

Thank you for your reply. Just to clarify it, would that be LH side of the engine looking at it from the front and below the cylinder head?
