Vin decoder

Hi Friends,

I got this 300 serie that I want to know it’s origin of. I was wondering if the VIN is decodable.

Looking for the type and year (I think 345)

VIN: Xlb345253jc411569


Edit:
Ah found it looks like - 1988 model

Re: Mr.Borrie's 360 Cup V2

Is that the one? http://www.daparto.de/Teilenummernsuche/Sachs/883082999763 Quite a price difference, but it'd be good to know whether it works out for you in race mode :-) Cheers Tom I was not aware of that model... it looks like it would fit. The model from the B204FT is IIRC Sasch 3082 204 033 h...

Re: Mr.Borrie's 360 Cup V2

Actually i am now looking into the Pressureplate of a B204FT.. apparently thats the stronger brother for it? No idea on partnr's and if it will actually work though.

Re: Difficult to change gear with running engine

Obliviously there is something wrong. I changed the clutch on my 360 a few years ago and the old pressure-plate was knackered. A new one made the clutch 'feel' a lot better. Was the pressure plate and/or fly-wheel scored at all? Actually I remember that getting the gear lever mechanism all back tog...
