Hi, does anyone have the link I have tried using the search function but it comes up with a error.

Somebody posted the link a few days ago, which now I can't find.

You need to register, then select catalogue on the left and enter the VRM.
It also works in reverse, so you can get a REG from a VIN

Thanks also for the link. This is a useful site, just a pity they don't cover the SLK32

Hi All,

I'll try to post this a few places, I have written an API tool that allows me to extract the VIN from the UKDVLA database. You just pop in the reg and I can interrogate the database to pull pretty much anything, from tyres to history and even value at auction. The recent GDPR Data Protection Laws have made all the existing systems out there obsolete, and I can meet the requirements a number of ways.

But, here's the catch, I need to pay each time I interrogate the database, but its pretty cheap, it works out about £0.25 (25p) for a full data pull.

I have also written the script which then pings the BMW database API and I can pull the full spec on the BMW in question, I have a BMW so naturally this is where I have put in the effort. This is particularly useful where you see a BMW you are interested in and the owner doesn't know what their car has made at the factory. Again, very comprehensive. I think I can do it for Ford and Seat too without too much hassle. I'll look at other manufacturers if there is an interest?

So here's the question, by way of a reply to this message, would anyone be willing to help me cover the costs for the hosting and API? I am happy to do all the programming myself for nothing, but I don't get excited about paying for something others will use on my dime.

Ideas/suggestions welcome? We can make this as simple or complex as we like, for now I can get a full factory spec on a BMW by popping in the reg number. Pretty neat.

How do you register? There's no obvious link on the home page other than for partsfinder?

If it's your car then look on the V5 or on the body of the vehicle, usually at the bottom of the windscreen

Look in your V5 or the drivers door jamb.
