Can Somebody Please Identify My New Car?

[Junkmonkey]

Hi everyone, I'm new to this site and hope i can be told by somebody the model number or any other info like the type of engine as ive had trouble finding an oil filter for it today.

 

Thanks!

It looks like a grey import Corolla. Not delivered in this country. Could have one of a couple of engines in it. Petrol or Diesel?

 

Edit: Should read the tags......

At a guess it's an CE100 model with either a 2C or a 3C diesel.

That info must be included in the VIN, or whatever Aussie uses for vehicle identification plates under the bonnet. Isn't there a nationwide website that gives you the information the Govt have on any VIN plate, maybe I'm thinking of NZ. The RTA will have the model data and engine codes somewhere, then you just need an import dealer.

 

Worst comes to worst, import parts from NZ. I've bought in timing belt kits, oil filters and stuff for my Altezza straight from North Shore Toyota through Altezzaclub, a lot cheaper than sourcing it in Australia.

There must be a build plate on the firewall with the chassis number?

Easier to get a pair of new tail lights that match the centre garnish

Or just replace the lot with these (no doubt extremely high quality) if you like rice, and men
