Thanks for the tip Marc. I will go that route as I hate thirdparty devices!!

One new question as I do not see the need to create another thread. The engine number on the 2.7 v6. Where on earth is that number as I need it for police clearance. Sigh.

Kind regards
Corne

If it’s the engine serial number you need, then I’ll send it to you via PM

I need the physical spot on the block of the engine for visual confirmation, unfortunately

Thank you Marc.
I did try myself to locate it. But I didn’t have alot of time so I missed it. It is quite cramped in there!!
