Vehicle age - Andrew Bairsto
HJ says look at the ash tray which I always thought was a good idea.My friend at the local Opel house tells me they fit new ashtrays to any vehicle where the previous owner was a smoker.I think it is better to be able to read the glass markings

Okay, then. Other plastics. They all have to be date stamped to the month and the year. Glass is usually only date stamped to the year and the codes are more difficult to read.

Not just the plastics, either. On Peugeots you can often find a date stamp on the top of the radiator, on many of the fatter cables and hoses, and on some of the older pressed-steel wheels. Also on the newer models some components under the bonnet have bar-coded labels full of data, if only it could be interpreted.
