I should probably search first, but hey-ho!


Where are they? I thought the chassis number was on a plaque on the dash - but noooooo! Engine is the M42 too...


Damn insurance questions! It says 'most often on the dash/under the carpet in the footwell', I had that carpet up a week ago - it aint there for sure!

So, please let me know, and thankyou!

Thanks mate, just copied that down!

Can't find the engine number though, and it HAS to be on the block/head which is totally not particularly visible!

engine number is on the passenger side bottom of the block,
on a protruding steel billit of metal,you may need to clean it/sand it
though.
