Thanks Terry, Does that mean I use the number on the plate and put P510M in front of it or just give the number alone. The only number I have found on my car is near the front left guard but this is different from the number stamped on the strut tower plate and only has 4 numbers after P510M. My guess is just to use the number that is on the strut tower plate on its own, do you agree? Lochie
