A "ransom" number!!??? holy shit! has your motor been kidnaped?

normaly you'll find the engine number on the gearbox end of the block on the front, cast blocks have a flat on the casting about 4-5ins top to bottom ans about 1-2ins wide, ally blocks have a small plate riveted on.

I would expect to see the number made up of letters and numbers, but if that fails isn't it on your v5 (logbook)?

I changed the engine ages ago and need to inform the DVLA cause my tax is due end of month.

So V5 aint any good.

All i could find was random letters and numbers riveted into the case at the side of engine near thed ECU. Im just going to use these and see what happens
