Thread: help with chassis number

nup that doesn't look right to me I thought they all had 8 numbers then a letter..well mine do anyway.....though I am no expert on landy's

That looks like a VIN, not a Series 2/2a Land Rover chassis number at all. Perhaps it is one of the VIN allocated by the RTA when they couldn't find the original chassis number.

Check the RHS front spring hanger instead of the usual LHS rear spring shackle bracket!

That is a number assigned by Qld government when they could not find the number, probably because they didn't know where to look. It should be stamped on the chassis somewhere - heaven knows where though!

Series 2a built in Australia should have their chassis number stamped on the LHS rear spring shackle bracket.

Series 2a built in the UK have their chassis number stamped on the RHS front spring hanger (below the bumper bar).

All this is dependent upon their not being any chassis repairs that have obliterated or removed the number.

well i bet this is going to become a PITA when i front to queensland transport

Yes - but that is where the factory stamped it, not Qld Transport! I know about this because my 2a has a number assigned by NSW RTA because they could not find the number - and their number was stamped on the chassis above the RH rear wheel. But that does not mean that Qld Transport would use the same location! It could be anywhere.

you need to "find" a replacement chassis that is BER (beyond economical repair). There is bound to be a rusty one around somewhere with a legable chassis number
