while working on my mk today was in engine bay i had a quick look for the vin plate but could not see it

where should the vin plate be located as i am in the uk my mot is up at end of month and if they cant locate the vin plate it may fail

maybee i am being thich but looked on the slm panel and bulkhead but no sigh of it

cheers

It should be rivetted to your fire wall i front of thr driver RHS, its about 70mm by 60 mm with all you vechicle info on in,. will put pic later unless soneone beats me to it'mybe different in the YK?
wouldn't think so though,look just below window height just where bonnet seal is, in engine bay , lift bonnet top lhs. if cant find it get off the guiness. LOL

Should around 3 vin numbers, on your chassis rail behind the front wheels and on the firewall

The VIN plate is located on the firewall,right side looking from the front,if there are a couple of holes few inches apart,with nothin then its not there anymore
There is another plate locating behind the left headlight,looking from the front, located on the inner wheel arch,look down behind th headlight
The main plate for rego is one on the firewall,that has all the info for rego

Well... On my 1980 MQ (W.Australia), the VIN is pop riveted to the inside fender, just behind the coolant overflow bottle. The MQ is one owner (me) so the VIN has always been in that spot.
