engine and VIN no. locations on a 101

**Mick_Marsh** · 5th January 2010, 09:31 PM

Thanks for the extra info.

What I'm suspecting has happened is the previous owner had no idea what he had. (In the correspondence I have received they refer to it as a Jeep.) In their ignorance, not knowing the engine number or where to find it, they probably made one up to get it through the registration process back in the early 90's. What I need to do now is find where these numbers are the DoT SA have on record are and use them. This may require a few trips to Motor Registrations as I don't know what numbers they have on record. All I know is the engine no. starts with a S. To find these numbers that start with a S, when the Landrover arrives at home, I will give the chassis and engine a good clean with a pressure cleaner and study every inch for a number starting with a S.

I have just spoken on the phone to the realestate agent who conducted the auction. He has come to the party and agreed to issue a new receipt stating the correct chassis and engine nos. Again, when the engine arrives home, I'll confirm the engine number visually, and get a new receipt issued.

Mick - just a little confused here - I understand that the vehicle is in SA and you want it registered in SA but I have just noticed you are in Vic. So why the need to register in SA and not Vic?

Good luck with it all - I think that once you have all the right numbers and rego authorities realise what it is things will become easier.

Mine had not been registered in nearly 10 years and in another state - but in the end all that was required was a basic roadworthy and pay money at the rego office - full details were in the Aust wide data base - even though it had never been regoed in the ACT.

I appreciate different states - different rules, but once you get the truck and you look up the real numbers things should start coming together - after all there are at least 20 101s running around Australia registered in various states and most were easily registered.

Mick if you have a plumber near you ask if you can borrow their endoscope. The one I have access to, has a screen on it so that whatever is hidden is quite clearly visible - should keep the rego. boys happy

Bogger,

It has arrived and in storage. This is the photo of it the day it was delivered.

At this stage, I am still trying to get it registered in SA but I have been very busy at work (which is a good thing). I hope to get over there this easter and complete the paperwork.
Another vehicle I have has also been taking up resources (which is also a good thing).
I have set a time frame of one year to get one of the 101's registered and close to "in service" as I am under pressure to put it in a local annual vehicle display.

Thanks for you interest

regards
Mick
