Dear Rennie,

Are you telling me that the part numbers have changed for a car that hasn't
been in production for over 10 years? My "old" EKTA goes up to model year
1998!! How "different" could a newer EKTA be (especially for Vanagons)?
Frankly, I'm incredulous.

Cheers,
MJS

Not to burst anyone's bubble, but this is a very old copy of ETKA.  The
update is 261 and the last update I got at work is about 497.  All this
means is that you should double check the part number with (especially)
the dealer before ordering your parts.  Aftermarket companies often
don't update their part numbers as often as the dealer does (we receive
10 updates annually).

Just for instance, you haven't been able to purchase bodies in quite a
few years!
