most parts computers won't need a reg. can look by make, model, year, variant etc. never had a problem that would require a reg plate before. always just asked for what i want, what car, what year, what model. sorted.

The problem occurs when someone isn't a massive geek like me and doesn't know off the top of their head what car had what engine/brake/gearbox type....


you cant expect anyone to know everything about all makes and models. i could find parts for french conversions but id be lost with vauxhall

I think given the likelyhood of someone being able to do it without a reg, a list of reg numbers would be a good idea.

Shall we start with a wanted list, then we can work out a reg for each one.

Most motor factors up here are run by numptys though so no chance of them having that sort of knowledge, hence the numberplate idea

This would be useful!

Was just thinking, now most motor factors ask for your reg number when ordering parts and most modified cars need parts from other models. Brake pads and disks after a 2.0/v6 upgrade, the inner/outer CVs needed for XE conversion.

Think it would make life easier to be able to give the numpty at your parts shop a reg so there is no confusion on what part you require.

So the idea is to compile a list of reg numbers and the parts that would come on said car that may be useful.
