Typical locations for the chassis number (or VIN number) are: 1. firewall or etched on an exposed part of the chassis within the engine area. 2. ID plate screwed on to the firewall or exposed part of the chassis. 3. Under the driver's seat 4. Plate on the dashboard (some have it riveted on to the dashboard mount and can be seen through the windshield..some have an ID plate in the glove compartment or some other similar location. 5. Somewhere around the door jams/pillars. I don't know..maybe someone who knows about the FAW truck can give you a more specific answer.

Oooh ! Very nice ! Looking forward to seeing more pics of her.... I know the later model had more or less everything off of a Pajero...does this as well ? Also, becareful of that bullbar...the other owners seem to cry all the time about the cops giving them a hard time over it.

Congratulations! That is indeed a lovely vehicle to have. I believe its running L200 running gear? I wouldnt mind getting one but seems the prices have gone up drastically during the last year or so. Careful on taking bends too fast because of the high center of gravity than a double cab or SUV. Change the wheels, try to get an original set or get some steel wheels and remove that hood rack. BTW does it have the full rotating seats and the cool box at the front? One of my uncles had one (not in good condition) I dont know why he bought it in SL as he is in Qatar and never had plans to come back. I never saw it but believe it had the full glass roof and the works, sold it off sometime back as his bro in law couldnt maintain it and it was rusting he never asked me to look after it 😪. I have three such uncles who dont do the right thing. One is the former and then there is the elder one who lives in the US and wants to maintain a Humber Hawk in SL (now its rusted to the metal, last time I asked he said he was doing a proper restoration and wanted me to go hunting for parts cars.) Only reason he says he wants to keep it is because queen Elizabeth had given it to Sri Lanka 🤷‍♂️. He had a VW beetle and he told me to rescue it when it was too far gone. And the other has been a MINI lover had a MINI rusting at home for close to 20 years and sold it off when he moved houses, in the meantime troubled me to take him hunting for MIN's which I did and got him one which I did the required repairs and handed back to him, never took it out from home for once or twice (in 2 years). I told my mom that I am not going to help them again.

So I’ve done it again… Remember them reliable shitbox needed threads looking for every vans and shiiz? Well those won’t be necessary anymore. This is my idea of a daily as it turns out! It’s a 1988 Mitsubishi Delica (L300) P25V 4x4 4d56 Turbo A giant “bull bar” Ice cold D/AC 3WL and Bike threatening height and face. Ideal daily for Kandy. Pictures don’t seem to be uploading. Will write longer in the morning. Show some love jdm peops 😊

Fuel efficiency and leg space Suzuki Swift Dzire is a good option.

Nice 👍🏼

Hell,I am Jasmine and I am from Myanmar.we bought FAW CA1040 2014 Lorry for Sale Rs.1575000 in Dehiwala Sri Lanka car last week and now me need to The deadline must be increased our car but we can't fine chassis number so we need your hand.please,

Yep, it is

Thanks you @fiat fan @matroska @iRage @Hyaenidae for the very informative answer and discussion. Those are very helpful

Is that so? Didn't come across that page . Anyway I got it from a different site. Yes. Anyway one of you can take the turn @matroska @Gummybr

That is a great thread. I think I have the same issue, Trying to contact that mechanic to repair mine. The cost would be more than 300,000 with the current situation I guess.

What a great thread! I am having the same issue with my Corolla 141, 2008. Can someone give me the contact of the mechanic, please?

I second that! They are always trying to make it so simple and make money out of it. I also found this video that is exactly what you guys are saying about the used engine. But I have no idea about the liquid chemical they used to clean the engine out. I recently tried keeping my engine at 5000 RPM and saw the car exhaust fume is visible and the color is white and blue and smells different. Probably that is kind of a sign for oil burning. I did not get the PCV valve checked yet, I am waiting until I find a good person to do it. I am living in Matara, But it does not matter I can take my vehicle anywhere if a good mechanic is found. Oil burning is approximately 1ml per kilometer.

Timing belt? Ignition coils?

Atrocious no? Smallest measurement of time in physics.

This is off BYD Sri Lanka's FB Cover page right?

Yes it is ! Over to you

Is that yo 508 I see ?

Alfa Romeo 156

Nissan Sunny FB15 - common car, Nissan prices have not skyrocketed as opposed to other brands. Common car with ample parts availability. Fairly comfortable, and not bad-looking (personal opinion) For your need this is the simplest and most painless option. Get a mechanic or a dedicated place to examine the car. Do some bargaining your budget should be enough. Resale should not be an issue either. An EX-Saloon (grade) with the 'old shell' should set you back around 3.2 Mill at max. Keep some cash for any repairs (car is around 25 years old now) and you're good to go. A manual would be possible. Auto's are touching 4 Mill now and some of them are converted (and prone to issues)

Uuu

Okay...here you go...
