Where are they on a T25 - got a friend in Spain trying to find BOTH, something to do with registering it.
A photo would help so i can email it her - apparently one is on the A pillar, I know that one) but where is the other??
Thanks

Ta Louey, huge kiss. I was on a petrol station forecourt clambering under my van in a skirt trying unsucessfuly to find it.
The rear engine confused the assesor for starters!
My van was registered in 1985 and built in 1984, I can find the Vin plate but I need to locate the chassi number thats stamped on metal. If I can't find it I will be automatically turned away from the MOT station. The only hint I have is that its not in the engine bay (which was hot while I looked)
Pictures would be good pretty please as would a diagram.
Many Thanks
Lg

Get down by the front right hand jacking point.. on the rear of the "outrigger" that comes from the main chassis section, its stamped on there... might need a clean with a wire brush and or white spirit to reveal.. should be the same as on the chassis plate in the door frame....

just behind the drivers door (the b pillar) is the jacking point LG.
underneath the van is a bit of thick metal that goes 90 degrees from the front to back of the van to the jacking point - this is the cross member
this image shows the chassis rail from front to back - the piece of metal that goes from the rail to the vw mud flap is a chassis outrigger(the one shown is the nearside)
