hello
my name is peter and i am from the Netherlands.
i had a bit of bad luck and so i had to buy an other engine.
i was sold an engine as 55 plate and as it arrived i was very happy.
now as i am bolting on the ancillaries i noticed that the engines are not the same.
my old engine has a lower engine mount wich is different from the new one.
also there are a few other things that just dont match.
now i tried to check what engine ive been sold but i cant find the right information.
my old engines number is 25k4fn45 186493 the new one is25k4fm02 161753
could anyone tell me why the engines are different and if the engine i have been sold actually is a 55 plate engine.

i hope you can help me .

thanks peter
