Where to find the legal chassis number (VIN) on the Opel Insignia MK1

Model: Vauxhall Insigna Insigna A, MK 1 - Years 2008-2017
Part: Checks and maintenance

In this video, you will see where to find the legal chassis number (VIN) on the Opel Insignia MK1. The legal chassis number is stamped directly on the vehicle's chassis, not the number on the windscreen label (that is a courtesy number, used only for moving vehicles until they have a registration plate) and not the metal plate affixed by the manufacturer on the driver's door frame (that is the vehicle's identifier at the time of production; it includes the engine number and other useful data). The chassis number (which for Opels always starts with WOL) can be found at the hinge of the bonnet, right in the centre.

How to Replace the External Wing Mirror on a Ford C MAX

In the event of a breakage, it will be necessary to replace the external wing mirror on the 2011 Ford C MAX. This operation is easily performed independently. Start by removing the internal cover of the mirror with a plastic lever. Then, use a socket wrench to remove the securing pins. Once the pins are removed, you can take off the mirror, but not before disconnecting the power connectors. Then proceed to fit the new mirror. First, connect the connectors and then secure the mirror to its housing with the pins. Refit the plastic cover and test the operation of the electric mirror using the controls.
