Sold from Dalby QLD

Original engine number QR824519

Engine long gone I would assume so will be fitting a 308

If it did get found I would be interested though..

How can you tell if the original engine is in the vehicle or not?

How can you tell if the original engine is in the vehicle or not?

1. Original dealers sales receipt.
2. It will be listed in your original service warranty maintenance book that sits with your owners manual. Having these makes your Sandman way more valuable than those that don't.
3. Your engine block is date coded see http://mysandman.com.au/index.php/mo...-dates-a-codes
4. Production run numbers. Although without the inside information you will not be able to link these.
