Just bought my first Land Rover - a 2004 Defender 90 Hard Top. Now, I'm a total novice with engines and the like, but am keen to learn.

The issue: I've been trying to find out on the internet why my VIN has an engine number "5" rather than the usual "8" for a TD5... apparently it means it's "EU5 spec". I've tried to find out what this means in practice for me but not much luck... any help appreciated!

:scratching_chin:
 
My Defender 02 also has a 5 which is supposed to mean EU5, but i do not think any TD5 engine could attain the EU5 spec, i guess that is why they changed them! Unless anyone else knows different
