Thanks for the update on the car but the body number you entered was the car number, rather than the body number. The correct body number and the gearbox number can be found on the black and silver data plate that should be attached to the center of the firewall. If you can obtain that information we would appreaciate the update on that info.

For a good example of this data plate see the detail photos of "Other" for car number 1S23963. The body number should start with a 4S prefix with four digits following and the gearbox number most likely start with a KL with four digits following after.
