Mista Bitzy's Car Tips

To locate your Chassis number look at the wall behind the motor (this is often referred to as the “firewall” and is the wall that separates the engine bay, and the vehicles dashboard in the cabin.) The chassis number will in almost all cases be in the middle, at the top of the firewall and either stamped in the same colour as the paintwork, or on a silver “credit card” sized plate.

having issue understanding VIN ??

• Every Japanese Pajero will have either 10 OR 12 digits in the chassis (VIN) number.
  
  
  • It is a Mk1 (84-90/91) if the chassis number has 12 digits
    It is a Mk2 (or higher) (90/91 on) if the chassis number has 10 digits
    
    Typical Mk1 chassis number : 84-90/91 : L049G0000000
    Typical Mk2+ chassis number : 90/91-on : V240000000
