Thanks again guys. Ok so now I know what the firewall is. That's exactly where we tend to find the engine no., chassis no. etc. At least on the 3 cars I've owned so far.

Thanks alot for all the info Demuire. You've been a great help. I'm ashamed to say I don't even know what the firewall is but I'll try to find out. I was told today by a sales rep at the local Toyota dealers that I wouldn't be able to get an owner's manual in English for the car. This keeps getting better and better. On the upside the car drives well as one expects from a Corolla.

Hiro was right except that the engine is 5E-FE. This whole situation is quite un-amusing.

I forgot to add the model and chassis numbers: Model No: EE103V-AXHDK Chassis No: EE103-0124835 My location is Barbados, an island in the Caribbean. I've been told in another forum (Corolland.com) that these model and chassis codes are JDM (Japanese Domestic Market) codes and that the car is probably a post-2000 car. Thanks for all your replies so far. Now I just have to find out what POV-spec means. :kiwi: I'm having trouble locating the VIN though. I understand it should be a 17-digit number but so far I haven't been able to find it.

Hi all. I've recently bought this car from a previous owner. I noticed from the time I saw the car that it seemed to have an older style than I would expect for a 2002 vehicle. Also older features. It has no central-locking, power-windows only at the front, rear seatbelts had to be installed by the previous owner, no intermittent wiper feature. I'm trying to figure out some things about the car (unfortunately I didn't get an owner's manual from the previous owner) but so far I get the impression that the style/appearance of it is definitely that of an older corolla (seems to be somewhere between 93-97). I guess this is the norm with reconditioned cars. Is there any way I can tell what year the car is originally? I've attached a photo.
