Who 'made' the TDi300 engine in a 1997 Defender110 ??.... and the gearbox
, too, for that matter. Is there any 'reference plate' with this info, or
a cross reference list that relates to engine numbers and where the
'construction' was made ??

gearbox by 'santana' of spain.

Hehhehhehheh !!! A Vision of the future, eh, Mark ?
The future.......More likely at one of the gynormous plants currently
being constructed in China.... one GMH, the other Ford. Of course the Ford
'outgrowth' would have _nothing_ to do with the recent 'ultimatums'
delivered at Solihull that I read, would it...... ?.
Brazil and Spain, eh!...... I'll go and check my engine and gearbox right
now !! Here's me thinking I'd got one of the 'last of a breed' ( preceded
the chippy-'electronics' for starters) :)))

I could always be wrong about that, but that's as I understand it, and
a good thing too as International make damn good engines and santana
make damn good gearboxes :o)

Both made in the UK until they were superceeded (except LT95's
which were a Santana box), the engine went to Brazil (and
was/is fitted into GM and Mercedes light trucks). Where the
gearbox went (if anywhere) I don't know, but Santana is no
more, they packed in about 18 months/2 years
ago.

Are you sure about that? They seem to still be chugging out the PS10 with
the old LT85 gearbox.

Thats's Santana (Ex Land Rover), as opposed to Santana-Suzuki,
I believe they were (technically, anyway) different companies.
