I, for some years now, have had the pleasure of writing up a book in conjunction with Peter Davis (ex-BMC Australia Product Engineering Administration Manager) which provides details of all the identification codings for Australian produced BMC/Leyland vehicles. We are nearly finished, but we need some knowledgeable person to decipher some Leyland transmission/ancillary codes for us. Can you help?
860
889
902
905
For those who do not know Peter, he was the person responsible for allocation of the "YDO" numbers in Australia, as well as many other coding schemes for engines and what-not at the factory. Unfortunately, Peter left Leyland just before the above codes came into use, and so our documentation is incomplete for those codes.
Thanks, Tony

Hi Tony I did a "Google" search as I am sure you have done but I know sometimes I get different results on other computers to the same question. I found two references to similar questions. The first here to which there doesn't appear to be a response but it may be worth trying to contact the author. The second reference was to a question raised on here. I have asked the administrator of the forum to register me so I can see the actual question and any responses. I will also take the opportunity to review that forum as it may be a good source of BMC fwd information. I will keep you updated. Sorry can't be more helpful regards David I, for some years now, have had the pleasure of writing up a book in conjunction with Peter Davis (ex-BMC Australia Product Engineering Administration Manager) which provides details of all the identification codings for Australian produced BMC/Leyland vehicles.

Hi Tony I am sorry to report that there doesn't appear to be an answer yet on either of the two sources I mentioned. I did note that the mk1 forum does have a number members who own 1800s so maybe some of them are here or on your website? Regards David |
