If I had the number plate would I be able to find if the subject was chain driven or cambelt driven.

You could supply the engine code or engine size and whether it's a petrol or diesel and we can advise you - alternatively you can supply the registration number.

It is a 2.5 petrol.
The number plate is G****1

We are thinking of purchasing it subject to an AA report but the present owners only know that they bought it new from Wingers Subaru in Auckland and can't seem to or don't want to tell me.

The information I have indicates that this vehicle with the 2.5L engine has a cambelt.

What are the AAs thoughts on cambelt verse chain. A lot more expensive to mantain and run than chain driven
