I took delivery on 23 April 2004 and my # is 22353. I notice Saldous (who took delivery on 19 June 2004) has #16805.

The :?: is: Is the number any indication of when the vehicle was manufactured (i.e. was my car assembled after Saldous's)?

If so, the next :?: is: Can you tell when your vehicle was built as I am becoming concerned that my vehicle may have been built in 2003 and could have some of the 1st gear problems?
