However, said engine is located in an LDV 400 series truck (actually it's an ambulance).

Reg number H191 DTR, to be specific.

I need a clutch and was wandering if this was a generic BL 'its a rover v8 so it needs a rover v8 clutch', or if i needed a specific LDV one?

anybody got any helpful pointers, or know a good place to get LDV parts?

TIA,

Adam.

AFAIK their are 2 clutches for all Rover stuff with the V8. 4 x 4 & saloon.
The 4 x 4 clutch is from memory 10.5" & the saloon, TR7 etc clutch is 9.5"
Not sure on what the bellhousing clears on a LDV van so you'll have to measure it, but a factors would know anyway.

Thanks for the reply.

I'm guessing it would be the 9.5" clutch then, give its RWD.
