Default Day Trip to Mackies to have Transmission Serviced

Have finally got around to booking the car into Mackies for a transmission service. It will be a long day as I'm getting the 4.00am ferry to Cairnryan and the 8.00pm one back again.

One question they asked which I couldn't answer is the 10 digit number off the transmission. Does anyone know where I can find this, and is it easy to locate, as I might only have access to a set of ramps (if my brother still has them)?

Thanks for the nice offer. Booked for next Tuesday as it was the cheapest I could find (didn't fancy a midnight sailing). Reckon I will be leaving the house at 2.00am and getting back around midnight.

If you PM me your reg number or chassis number I *may* be able to work it out on ETKA - sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't.

Unless you want to meet for lunch on Tuesday, Sean? What are you planning to do whilst the car's in at Mackies?

To be honest Jim, I have no idea what I'm planning to do. Since I don't know the area, I'm relying on Google to get me there, and weather permitting, would probably go for a walk around the area. Have PMed you.
