How do I find out the engine size of my lorry?

[sloulou]

Haven't posted on here for a very long time... but I was widget a long time ago <gets faraway look>

Anyway - am trying to work out what the engine size of my old bedford TL horse box is - i have looked on the registration certificate and it says 54 cc - which is surely insane?!

Anyone have any idea how I could check?

It's almost certainly 5400 cc! Does it give a model number anywhere (possibly on a plate inside the passenger footwell).

Hello!!

It's a Bedford TL DJN according to the plating certificate. I've tried googling to see what comes up, but nothing very useful!

You're looking for a metal plate about 3 inches by 4 inches, with the numbers punched into it

It's sure to be 5400 though, there were lots of those built.

You're sure it's a DJN not a DJM though? DJN was TL1000 which is a 10 tonner, DJM was TL860. Both were fitted (almost) exclusively with the 330 engine which was a 5.4 litre jobby.

Well, I only have the plating cert to look at for now and it is written DJN. but it isn't a 10 tonne lorry, so guess it may be written wrong.

Thanks v much, 5.4 makes so much more sense! Going to check plate when I next visit the lorry.

Thanks!!!!

It may be a downrated 10 tonner.

So it could be a DJN? Going to have to look for this plate....
