Chassis numbers on South African bays

  1. The chassis number on my van is behind the seat but not in the engine bay where it is on uk vans. Is this normal ?
    Cheers

    On UK vans it's on the left hand side of the engine bay on the upstand.
     
  3. It's normal to have it on the bulk head behind the seat mine was behind offside front seat.
    Also engine bay like bs said and you should also have a plate with your m code on under the dash on the air pipe thingy. Mines a left hooker and it's on the left. Not sure if it's in the same location on right hookers.

    On our ex US bus, we also have a VIN tag on the dash, visible from outside. Don't know about UK buses though

  5. My South African only has it behind the seat too. AFAIK that's normal.

    In non SA buses it isn't a spot welded plate there, it's just stamped into the structure.
     
  11. Cheers for clearing that up

    Wonder what the reason was for welding the plate over ?
