| Post subject: | Registration questions. |
I got my rego renewal today and i was just wanting to ask if the details of my car sound normal... How long should a VIN be? Mine is only 5 digis long whereas my Toyota's VIN is 17 digits long. 
Also, what engine would i have seeing that the engine number i have is ...BHM1441N... ? It is registered with the following details... 1967 Morris Mini Deluxe Serial No... 9784972 VIN... 27286 Engine no... BHM1441N Just curious to know what can be made of these numbers. |

The VIN number is right, thats just the body number that is stamped on your car and on your id plate. I think the Serial Number is just a number that Vicroads use. Regarding the engine number wouldn't have a clue. Sounds a bit off though?? |

Yeah, the engine number sounds weird... i keep seeing other people's engine numbers being listed (mainly in for sale ads) and none of them sound remotely close to mine. I've checked and there is a little plate screwed onto the block with that same number stamped into it so at least something matches. To my knowledge it's an MG Metro A+ engine. Someone i spoke to reckons it would be something of the 1984 era. But i think that was just a guess. |

your block could have been decked and then taken to the police to get some new numbers put on it to make sure it doesnt get mistaken for a stolen engine. call the PO PO and find out |

just out of interest..can i ask how much it is to get ur car rego'd in VIC? being in nsw (and my rego due early next year) i need to start saving rapidly NOW.. as the greenslip is something around $570 (this may be increased? stupid john woods adverts something about children being better looked after but greenslips increasing? ) then rego itself is $200 in ACT i know you can pay 1/4 or 1/2 or the full..and its slightly cheaper.. lemme know tanks, Kaz |

hmm... i might have to do some more investigating. I was hoping that people would recognise the engine number. Hope there's nothing dodgy anbout it. I mean, the little plate that the number is on is held onto the block with screws so it could easily be removed and changed.
Oh, and i got my rego bills for my two cars yesterday... they're due two days apart. Dunno how i managed that. 
Rego bills: Toyota Cressida... $280 (incl. disability pension discount  ) due: 25 Oct.
Morris Mini... $560 (full amount) due: 23 Oct. Smokie, I dunno where you got $473 from... i paid it last year and it was like $545 or something. Never been below $500 since i've owned the car at least. |

Possible that in the country area it is cheaper but I am not going to ask just in case they change it.. But that's the price it says on my rego form.. |

Just checking, smokie are you counting the compulsory third party insurance stuff? I think that is round about the difference.
