On the inside page of your service book you should have one of these stickers (pictured below), on this
sticker is a load of quite useful information,things like engine,colour and gearbox codes.

The sticker can also be found on the inside of your van in the cab (if it hasn't been removed!) just above
the pedals on the drivers side (O/S) on the metal heater ducting.

If you move your mouse over the different numbers you should get a brief description of what each one
means ,an by the wonder of new fangled technology you can click on the different parts and get
transported (transported...get it!? it gets much worse I assure you!) to a separate page with much more
detailed information.
