I saw this on another forum, the last comment "eg" is mine not on the original post;

Tenth digit - Year Code
80(A), 81(B), 82(C), 83(D), 84(E),
85(F), 86(G), 87(H), 88(J), 89(K),
90(L), 91(M), 92(N), 93(P), 94(R),
95(S), 96(T), 97(V), 98(W), 99(X),
00(Y), 01(1), 02(2), 03(3), 04(4),
05(5), 06(6), 07(7), 08(8 ), 09(9)

eg: A 1980 vehicle/van would have on the Vin number as the tenth digit A.

      A 2008 vehicle/van would have on the Vin number as the tenth digit 8.

Gday...

Thanks - it could be a guide and come in handy.

However, it works for my Golden Eagle van but not for my Land Rover Discoery.

Perhaps it is for "Australian vehicles" ?

I'd say your right John, I havn't looked at mine (vehicle) yet except my camper trailer which was as stated on the vin check.

I think their was a note about it is "usually" the tenth digit, so with some it may be different?
