series 3, horse power question

Hi,
Can anyone tell me the actual horse power of a series 3 diesel engine, (not the brake horse power)

I've got the original owners handbook, Green Bible & Haynes books and no other figures apart from BHP are quotes.
As for the actual Horsepower the answer is not enough.

Errmm... as a general rule of thumb, BHP = HP

The 'brake' part is just a reference to how the HP was measured (by braking the engine under load)
