Default Need advice and direction with a complete engine replacement

I have a 2002 LR RR HSE 4.6 VIN#SALPM16422SA465761 and I am in need of a replacement engine. As a total noob, I am completley in the dark on this however, I have come to understand that the 7th digit in my VIN number is very important to know which engine to purchase as a replacement.

As I understand it, there were 6 engines for this vehicle and it depends upon 2 seperate things:
1. If it is with or without secondary air injection
2. If it was manufactured in the US or Canada

Apparently, the 7th digit of the VIN is suppose to tell you this info. However, my 7th digit is a 6 and know one knows what this means. Now with that said, I believe my engine is a UK built engine and that is why it explains the 6 as my 7th digit.

So my question is, since this is a British built engine, where can I get a replacement engine for this vehicle?

Thanks in advance,
Zed

Zed first where are you located, I can point you to a few good places to get used engines, but having an idea where you are located would help.

Your 2002 RR would have been built in England with the Engine in it... So nothing would be stamped built in US or Canada on a RR more than likely.

When working with GEMS vehicles. Never try to locate a misfire by pulling plug leads off - pull the injector connector instead. Otherwise you can blow up the ECU.

Secondly never swap ECUs between vehicles to test them, because both vehicles and ECUs may stop working, and you'll have to have them all reset by a franchised LR dealer (ouch!).
