TD42T engine was available in about 1999 or thereabouts. Your engine will be a TD42 if it still has the original engine in it.

One on-line parts suppler that uses a VIN is Partsouk.

I know that the Safari was turbocharged form factory, but was that with an engine with the different internals, designated the TD42T?

Because his compliance plate says TD42. I would have thought that would be correct. Not sure this question has come up before.

If you have a look at the crankshaft assembly, it shows both TD42 and TD42T parts listed.

That suggests to me that either engine was an option.

I dunno if anyone has ever stripped one down to see what the internals are.
