The vin plate is on the inside wall closest to the bumper. Just tuck your head in..

Your code seems fine she's a rev 3!

Regards to oil, i use 10w40.

And the oil, semi or fully synthetic????

Hi matey
welcome to imoc! the plate is on the panel at the front if you stand at the front of the car it's on the back of the panel.basically opposite where you found the other number. I use semi synthetic 10w 40 thats the recommended grade anyways

i used to use magnatec but almost everyone was recommending a fully synthetic oil for these cars so that's what i now use...

welcome to the site mate

[monkeyboy]

Hello again. Double checked the car today and the chassis plate is unfortunatley missing!!!!!! I had done a hpi check before buying the car and all was o.k. Done some investigating today with previous owners and garages but cant find out why its not there...
Anyway, i spoke to Toyota today to see if i could order a new chassis plate, but they said I couldn't because it is an import.
So my question is, does anyone know where I could get a new chassis plate from???
Many thanks.
