Not much info around on it but they definitely had a 5-cyl in the MWB Cruisers, I think it was a diesel. This from Wikipediea:

*1990 - Introduction of new-generation diesel engines, the five-cylinder, SOHC 1PZ and six-cylinder, SOHC 1HZ diesel — still current with minor modifications to this day. Later the same year, wagon versions had a complete makeover....

The 1PZ is a 3.4 L (3469 cc) Inline 5 SOHC diesel engine. Bore is 94 mm and stroke is 100 mm, with a compression ratio of 22.7:1. Output is 113 hp (84.5 kW) at 4000 RPM with 116.9 ft·lbf (158.3 Nm) of torque at 2600 RPM.

If this was on evilbay it could be anything, description on that site is sometimes erroneous, to say the least.... wikipedia is not necessarily accurate, either...

Toyota may have made a 5 cylinder diesel, but I don't think any of the models imported into Australia have had anything but 4 or 6 cylinder.
They did have a variety of diesels in the 3 to 3.5L capacity, but they were 4's.

My bet is it'll turn out to be a 3.9 Isuzu.
The description will have been mixed up by someone not very familiar with LR products.
Looking around on the net to see what it may have been, indicates that the 3.9 is widely reported as a 3.8 on a lot of sites.

Mercedes Benz apparently have produced a 3.8 5 cylinder though (according to google)
