HELP - Trying to find J382 DTU / F2 KED July 20, 2021, 09:17:16 AM Trying to track down my Grandads 3dr MK2 Golf Driver in Pasadena Blue that he used to take me everywhere in as a kid. The reg was J382 DTU but is now F2 KED. Last thing I can find on Google Search is John Brum (JB) from Birmingham aka "Brummy" on Volkzone / VZi and "j0n" on ClubGTI put a for sale ad back in 2016 and said he also listed it on ebay. I can see that it is faxed and tested so its still in use.If anyone has any info with regards to the whereabouts of the current owner, the car or of the previous owner John, then please get in touch with me directly.

Re: HELP - Trying to find J382 DTU Reply #1 – July 20, 2021, 09:32:04 AM I don't think I'm alone in that when I'm a bit bored I will check out previous cars / registrations I've owned to see where they are now.I'm guessing you've tried all the standard places like the Govt tax / MOT sites plus some of the commercial ones like Cazana.If J382DTU is coming back as no record at all, I've found that can mean the car has been re-registered (a private plate put on it for example) and while it still exists the number has gone into limbo. If a private plate is taken back off a vehicle, usually the original number will be reinstated which is likely why they're withdrawn / not re-issued so this can happen... unfortunately that also means you having to re-check periodically in case it happens (if ever).

Re: HELP - Trying to find J382 DTU Reply #3 – July 20, 2021, 09:37:55 AM I looked on the gov website and it does not recognize the registration number, I think that means the car has either had its plates changed or the car no longer exists. Cars are scrapped due to accident damage as well as poor condition.scs

Re: HELP - Trying to find J382 DTU Reply #9 – July 20, 2021, 10:46:32 PM The white one golf is griffs car.I wasn’t sure as it’s had green wheels for as long as I’d known it. This was shortly before he got them at Weston beach meet.
Re: HELP - Trying to find J382 DTU Reply #10 – July 21, 2021, 08:21:40 AM Haha! Just realised I took those photos!I replied on FB but there was a guy called Jon who it belonged to, as mentioned, I sold him an 8v engine for it, not sure if the whole thing went in.The fact it's got a (quite funny) personal plate means someone still loves it. 1 Likes

Re: HELP - Trying to find J382 DTU / F2 KED Reply #12 – July 28, 2021, 12:08:34 PM Bit of an update on Grandads Mk2 for anyone that is interested. I found the reg plate was F2 KED, then found the MOT test number and spoke to the MOT Test Station, found VRT in Slough brought it in for an MOT after completing a 3.2 R32 engine conversion. I haven't managed to get hold of VRT yet but I fee llike I'm getting closer each week. 1 Likes
