1) I have bought a Land Rover Defender 2007 bulk head. On the ECU I have the following numbers under the top bar code the number is 7H12-12C520-BF and under the smaller bar code. S/N *YJRSVOANPWC8* Can these be used to trace the VIN numbers? 2) The engine and 6 speed gearbox comes out of another Defender 2.4 TDCi and the engine number is 080218011401244DT. As the ECU and Engine are from 2 different Land Rover Defenders. Will the ECU work for this engine? as I am building up my own Defender. Thanking you, Chris Maas.

Those numbers refer to that piece specifically.
The chassis serial is usually in a plate on the windshield.
Check the owner's manual for instructions on where to locate.
Some scanners to do fault diagnosis, has option of chassis serial information

hi there, needs to be the same number. computers need to match. tourque converters are different from 2.0/2.2 to the 2.5 engines. also shift points are different between models so needs to talk to the dash perfectly. hope this helps.

SOURCE: Hi i recently had to replace

If the ECUs have different part numbers, they are NOT the same...The thing will most likely might hook up to your electrical connector and mount the same, but they are different computers for different vehicles that most likely are equipped with different features. i.e. different engines, different engine controls, different emissions controls, one may have cruise control and the other not or they may be for the same engine with a different transmission, etc..

I am curious however as to how this all came about. The ECU failed from attempting to start the new engine??? What was wrong with your engine that it needed to be replaced and how did the ECU manage to fail because of an engine replacement? Was the other engine running when it was determined that it needed replacing? ECUs don't fail very often...I'd like to know what the problem is.

If it is not on a sticker under the hood, you can write down the vin number on the top of the dash and contact a dealer.
They can give you all of the original information from that.

Unsure if this is the paint part number BTR0171

if yours is a defender 110 then thats a rare machine .. there were only 500 in the country. ..
here is some good info on identifying all land rovers
http://www.roverparts.com/How_to_Identify_Rover.cfm

this is info on your defender
http://www.roverparts.com/Model/Defender110.cfm

under ..body parts.. they show lots of stuff for land rovers but little for your model since its so rare.
they claim they have a full line of parts for the defender so maybe a call to them might hit pay dirt

some interesting stuff about the defender here including some colors ..
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Land_Rover_Defender#Special_editions

here is some paint colors for 93 land rovers
http://www.automotivetouchup.com/choosecolor/choosecolor.aspx?year=1993&make=Land+Rover&model=All+Models

this gives the color as alpine white and gives instructions on how to find paint codes
http://www.roverparts.com/Parts/PPNUC.cfm

maybe too much information but everything about that machine is so interesting .. and it still has high value .. maybe a classic
