So what do they mean
And can I buy a new one

I think the YC1 bit means the year, would this be 2000 on yours? Don't know about any other digits. I'm pretty sure that these plates are unique to the vehicle.
Certain labels / decals are still available (they are for the mk6), but anything with chassis no./ specific information on it, will be printed / stamped at point of build.
If you're fussy, (like me) the only option would be to get one off a similar vehicle (age and colour), to try and replicate one would look cr@p.

When I brought new plates for the MK2 Cortina, I had to send them away to be stamped, as they are stamped from the reverse and at the time you couldnt buy reversed letter punches. Couldnt see any listed in the trade catalogues

WOW andyg just saw this thread and wanted to say thats an excellent job

Cheers


Now, for some reason, since all this work was done, I now have a nasty whistling noise from the N/S of the windscreen when going over 50mph

What can I use on the windscreen to stop it
I understand that silicone/bathroom sealer is a big no no

Or is it best left to a professional to re-seal it

I'll bet it was always there, but you couldn't hear it before

Seriously though, are you sure its not the door seal that's whistling more likely as the doors were taken off

If I wasn't laughing, I'd erase the lot of you (on a mods thread )

[AndyG]

Well I found out why I had a whistling
Pulled off the A pillar trim and found I could see into the cab area
A gap, of at least 6 inches long
Temporarily sorted
