Post by deaconj999 »

Gents, I have now bought an immaculate C5 but know little about it. I have been reading forums and don't know how to tell which Mk or exact model it is. Please help. Thanks in advance. I will post again because it has a few electrical issues I believe.

Hi and welcome to the Forum.

The first thing you need to do is post up your VIN, then I can provide you with the exact spec as it left the factory. Your VIN can be found on the outside of the windscreen, at the bottom of the passenger side - there is a little window that shows the code - it is an alphanumeric sequence of 17.
