Out of interest have you got all the UK VIN codes as I only have the Jap ones to hand.
If you do and it is easy for you can you PM them to me. If not absoultely no problem at all

Asking people to pm you info is cheating mun. Defeats the object of a forum to which everyone can contribute and from which everyone can learn.

It's easy to pull an MY from a VIN. The tenth character is the model year, so in your case JF1GC8KD3W....

Y=00
X=99
W=98 etc etc

Or you can do it from the fourth character of the Applied Model Code:

GC8HK8D=MY00
G=99
F=98
E=97
D=96
C=95
B=94

Note that the above sequence is different from the one applied to JDM models (which explains why a lot of folk with later UK cars get the MY mixed up).
