Try googling pictures of different Land Rover Engines and see what parts match with yours. Is it dies el? Has it got a turbo? Is it an original rngine, to that vehicle or a conversion? What age is your Land Rover? Any other unique features? As jamesmartin says, pics would help
 
This is the nearest that I have found on the interweb, no idea how accurate it is.
LAND ROVER 88/109 1963 - 1986 2.3 - 2286cc 8v 23J Diesel Engine
 
Did they do a 2.5n/a?

Nope.... :D

You mention it "looks like a Diesel" are you 100% sure it's a diesel?

The BMC E series engine numbers started 23j IIRC

the biggest being a 6pot 2.6 unit..
 
thanks for the replies and trying to help im sure its diesel as its got series looking injectors and had it running on diesel .im not sure if its out of a ldv etc guy I got it from didn't say and I just assumed it was a standard td by the look of it .
