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.

Earlier in the GQ. My TD42T enigine is from a 96 Safari. I think the first ones were already in the 94 Safaris.

The original TD42T engines will have a T suffix on the engine number.
I don’t think any of the earlier TD42T engines had the silver rocker cover. Mine was a black rocker.

I believe the early TD42Ts just said TD42 on the plate, and putting the frame number from above into Partsouq seems to bear that out.

Shows a Japanese market, high roof Y60 wagon, engine TD42T, transmission RE4R03A.

That shows 12.1993 as the date with TD42T

That's a TD42T engine (not a silvertop) judging by the turbo coolant return and the boost line for the aneroid.

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.

The popup info shows it's a TD42T

Thanks for that. jff45 how did you get that popup? Is there a parts catalogue?

Looks like 24V too (which is no surprise), by the twin factory battery hold-downs.

My '96 TD42T engine was also 24v

I got everything I needed for my Safari TD42T from Partsouq even the turbo spec exhaust studs & multi-layer turbo manifold gaskets. Also bigger rear crank seal, all hoses, inlet manifold & sump gaskets, etc. They even had a turbo spec piston oil squirter that I had to replace.
