No luck, engine number is not searchable field in gov dataset. The only primary fields which are searchable are vrn (reg) and vin.simpleR wrote: ↑Thu Jul 28, 2022 6:53 pm I wonder if I can reverse the search on the gov data and instead of looking up reg and vin to get an engine code, lookup the engine code and get a reg...... that should indicate which car the engine came from if it wasn't supplied by Jaguar. I'll have a look.
I've put in a request for information however that requires a vrn but have requested information anyway.
The only other option is ask Jaguar Customer Care team.
Or find all previous V8 write offs on 14 and 64 plates with vrn and lookup them up.
Whilst searching I did find two black R's which have had replacement engines outside of Jaguar main dealer from previous eBay sales from private garages.
The 508PS is V8 engine but that end code is for all V8 varients and outputs across the JLR model range.
