VIN number on JD

Post by Noelw »

I have gone through all the messages that I can find on where to find the VIN number on my Starion JD, but despite several searches I cannot find it. I did find it several years ago but I can't remember where I found it and much to my extreme frustration I still can't find it. Help appreciated. Cheers.

I am pretty sure I found it in the engine bay last time, but can't remember where, but I will try out your suggestion. Thanks.

they're quite different!

JD had 4 stud wheels and small brakes, and was the slowest aussie delivered starion in stock form as it was unleaded.. premium and boost wakes them up though, they're factory intercooled. have a squiz at the JA JB JD post in general i think it is...

Highest output stock 2l would be the gsr-v with the dash engine.
Starions are a disease, the only cure is poverty.
