Thread: How to read AULRO parts reference

its a spade lug so 32-1 looks like it therefore the lines with all the 0s in it lines up with the 4bd1 1985.
the 1234 numbers seem to look similar to the vehicles vin numbers.
thanks for looking for me.
who do i go to with this part number? isuzu land rover?
thanks again simon

I believe the parts catalogue is for an Isuzu truck, so you need to be conscious of Land Rover variations, however they are very minimal. Correct me if I'm wrong, but that means Land Rover VIN's are unlikely to match anything in this document if indeed those codes are VIN related. The trick is perhaps knowing exactly which truck engine we got (more specific than "4BD1"), but that's the answer I don't have...

To answer your question Simon, the part numbers are good for both Isuzu dealer and Land Rover dealer. You will probably find the Isuzu dealer cheaper.

The 1st row of the columns is year.month when the engine started production. These are 80.0, 85.5, 88.5 and 90. For 88.5 and 90, you will have to go to a following page.

BTW no need to look in 90. Also be aware there can be the same suffix in 85.5 and 88.5, but these are different columns, so you need to get the year correct.

The second row of the columns is the engine suffix in columnar form. which you need to determine from the customer table 'A-1'. In the bottom row of the customer table look for Land Rover. In the upper section of the customer table are rows for year model, and the lower section for customers, e.g. JRA (Jaguar Rover Australia). You are looking for 'o' where the rows for year and customer cross the suffix column.

When you know your year and engine suffix, you have identified the correct column of the matrix to look in.

When you have the item number from the diagram, look in the column for your year and suffix to find the row with the 'o' and the item number you are interested in. In this row is the Isuzu part number for your engine.

Hope this becomes clear. Otherwise I can post some pics to help.

No the catalogue is for Isuzu Engines supplied to Land Rover, and other customers, for industrial (e.g. gen sets) and vehicle use. This is why so many columns and part numbers for the same item number.

Thanks John. I hadn't noticed the customer reference table. That makes ALL the difference!! And being specific to the Land Rover 4BD1, this really is a key resource.

Not sure whether everyone else is as noobie as I am at reading the manual, but maybe the mods should make this a sticky and ENCOURAGE PEOPLE TO BUY THE AULRO 4BD1 CD!!

Edit: That font is pretty big! I wonder if the mods will notice.
