    question on a VIN

    Could anyone help with a VIN decode for me please.

    I'm looking at buying a parts car. It is a little weird, its a south african imported car. 2003 D2a. It has no passenger side airbag it has the handle like the D1s. For that model, I think the CDL was an optional cost item.

    I have the vin SALLTGM333A817430

    extract gives me

    Transmission Rating - Uprated Transmission [108AA];
    Differential - 2 Pin Differential [027AS];
    Transfer Box Linkage - Cable Linkage [105AA];
    Territory Packs - south african territory [075CH];
    Differential Lock - Selectable Differential Lock Mechanism [027CE];



    My question is: Does this have the CDL?
    the car is a few hours drive away and the owner isnt certain. I don't want to waste my time driving down otherwise.

    cheers
    Clint

    Not an expert, but I reckon this gives it away:

    Differential Lock - Selectable Differential Lock Mechanism [027CE];

    Can't speak for South Africa, but I believed all D2a were CDL.

    that was sort of what I was thinking.

    the UK cars, which is essentially what they got in SA, had the CDL as a cost option up until July 2013. I do'nt know the exact build date. But I think given that, it is most likely CDL. Or was the facelift model after july 2013

    also this SA spec website has it as an option on all but the HSE

    See if he can send you a photo of the transfer box lever and label, that should be good enough to ensure the drive is not a waste of time.
