Engine Numbers
Tried searching the forums for info on the location of the engine number to no avail.
I know the plate on the right side of the slam panel has it on but is there a number on the engine block somewhere?
I am trying to find out if the car has had a replacement motor...interestingly the cars log book does not record a number.

Yep, left hand side of engine (right as you look at it from the front) just behind and below the aux. belt tensioner. You'll see a flat surface. Maybe dificult to see in situ though.

It's a bugger to read the final digit; I wet it with a Q-Tip in some forceps, to bring out the digits.
I also found there is a part no. barcode sticker by the crank pulley; a smartphome & a powerful torch will allow you to photograph it in order to read it.

managed to clean the panel off with ferrosol and a cloth on a screwdriver...last digit just visible...ish ! anyway it was either a 6 or 8 and I went for six and when I checked the plate it was the same....can't understand why the V5c doesn't record it......
Won't be disturbing anyone in the DVLA anytime soon though
