Another string to finding out what old shite is.

This seems to work better than the DOOVLA or whatever.

Brought up all my motors (including the import Laurel), but no tyre sizes.I did, however, bosh in the "RUB" 626 and it came back with the tyre size, but I'm pretty sure it is wrong - 195/65/R14. Bloody odd size for an 80s Japanese saloon. I bet they're 165/80 or 185/70 or something.Still, at that size they can fit a Michelin for £101.50, which sounds like a right old bargain (if they're filled with bags of cocaine).

I'm sure it's 13" wheels on the 1600

My dad's old VW Transporter diesel pickup comes up as an LT petrol.

 

It seems to be unreliable on certain stuff, I'm impressed it found the right details for this though.

Anything fitted with metric tyres seems to be giving it a headache.

It got the size right for my old Metro GTI(185/55 13),but they couldn't supply tyres in that size

This is a 2000!

Got the Audi right and interestingly got the body type for my Transit right its a flat now but used to be a Luton which it still comes up with on a lot of these things.

I now know that KYO 1D is a yellow MK2 Jaguar.The rest of the cars in the KYO xD series up to 30 are either unlicensed or Triumph or BSA motorbikes according to that thing.The garage where my Celeste came from in Nottingham sold all manner of rammle - I think it might have been a Mitsubishi - Renault garage, as most of the cars in the XRR 93xS series are Renaults, there's a couple of 20s in there, and a 14, the rest are 5s. XRR 937S is an Allegro for some reason, then 940S is an orange Celeste, and after that a couple of Sigmas.Went after D888 XJM as well, my old Piazza. This was the only one (other than my C4) that it got the tyre size right on. Apparently D887 XJM was a white Piazza auto - I wonder where that is now?

I'm not going to go and check now, it's cold and dark outside.Interestingly, D747PJN was a Citroen Visa, and D749PJN was a BX. I'm guessing they all came from Roy Tolley Citroen in Colchester.

Not much different to the Autotrader one other than giving tyre sizes? It gives out totally the wrong tyres for my car too, should be 195/55/15 yet comes out with 215/16/45Actually, Autotrader one tells you 'transmission and fuel type' which can be handy sometimes - if you see something for sale/scrappy that you cant easily check or whatever..Good if your regular one is down, it's a shame somebody cant combine all these databases into a decent 'free' one (including Ebay's aswell). I suppose each company/database pays a certain amount for whatever information they want about each vehicle..
