We drove my wifes new C70 back from Melbourne last weekend and loved.
Yes, I'm still working on the AM side of the radio reception, but at present we have a more pressing problem.
As part of transfering the rego from Vic to SA, the vehicle has to be inspected at an inspection station here in SA where they physically verify the VIN, the engine number and whatever else they do.
All went well at the inspection, except that the inspector could not find the engine number after many attempts. He was using a mirror and a remote camera.
In the end, he gave me a piece of paper asking me to supply a photo of the vehicle, a photo of the VIN, and a photo of the engine number. Basically he said it is not his problem and I need to fix it!!!!
He told me that I had to take it to a mechanic to get a photo done.
He also told me the engine number is at the back of the engine, towards the top left side (as viewed from the front)
I did find a number at the top of the block, but he has already told me that is not the number I'm looking for.
This morning I removed the large air hose from the back of the engine and tried to feel for a flat section which might have a number on it - no luck.
I stuck a camera down the back to get some pics and isolate where it might be - no luck!
Where is the ###### engine number please?? Am I even looking in the right area???? I know what the number is, I just need to physically photograph it on the engine.
If it is at the rear of the engine, should I be able to find it? Can anyone tell me where it is, using my supplied photo? Is it behind A or B or.......
Or am I going up the garden track and looking in the totally wrong area???
Please help.
