I am for ever seeing parts listed with a LV6 or LV7 part number and then other numbers which are not familiar to me- ie: jeep parts which i am familiar with, wearing a LV part number which makes no sense to me.

Is there a table, website or book i can obtain/try to find which will help me ID parts like this?

Hi Ian,

A friend of mine, Clive Elliott, wrote an article on this for the MVT magazine, Windscreen. It has subsequently been put on the HMVF Forum website;

This should explain it easily.
