Ok, just was bored and was trying to work out the codes for the vin numbers... Most of this was taken from insanesVL article (so blame him for any mistakes ). Give it a test, it should report back most of the info about your VL http://calaisturbo.com.au/vincodes.php Use this plate to get the numbers from (see attached image): Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Thats pretty cool! It says its a non turbo isnt yours turbo?

"Luxury" <--- like that, no A in there

that id plate could be from his old one maybe?

pretty crafty, Division: Holden Luxuary Level: Commodore SL Body Shape:: Sedan Engine: 3.0E (Non Turbo) Year: 1988 Plant: ERROR - should be J or L and between 1 and 9 Serial Number: 28441 kept getting that error... not sure why but im sure you can fix it Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

carcrazy, thats my VIN in the picture Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

also, it should be entered in the format '8K196HL284410' without spaces etc.

Cool. Now all we need is one for the Body & Option plate on the lower left of your photo. I've got the codes if you really want to get carried away.

Nice one platinum I only got one error, it wouldnt tell me that my car is a wagon.. oh well good stuff

It works good. It says my car is a SL. I thought it was a exec, well it has exec badges.

an exec is the same as an SL, just with air con and pwr steering as standard and exec badges

On my VIN plate I have an 'L' at the end of the VIN number, does anyone know what that stands for?

Model Program VL funnily enough.

ok, thought it might have been a HDT thing as my SL doesn't have it

My '87 series II Calais turbo comes back as; Division: Holden Luxury Level: ERROR - should be VK, VL or VX Body Shape:: Sedan Engine: 3.0ET (Turbo) Year: ERROR - should be F, G or H Plant: ERROR - should be J or L and between 1 and 9 Serial Number: 44515 So some probs do exist in the calculator. great idea though to have this

Either that, or maybe u can't type russell Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
