Ebized Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 quote "I'm gonna get crucified for this but what does MY stand for? *please don't hurt me* "quote We often see these posts on a regular basis and the questions are very understandable, and not just for newbies. Is it worth having a heading with alphabetical/numerical lists so that the regular ones that crop up can be listed and then any others that pop up can also be added I know the answers can probably be found by a search but its not always where you think it might be and it saves us long-termers on here having to repeat answers, or as in this case I think I'm right in saying MY stands for model year, but then I'm not 100% sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chesterfield Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 Brilliant Idea. Perhaps we can use this thread to add to the list befor publishing it in the FAQ area?

Sarnie Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 MY06, MY05 etc = Model Year The model year relates to the version of the car. Hence the zed has a MY03, MY06 and a MY07 distinguishing when the car was facelifted. E.g a 2005 zed would actually be a MY03 not MY05...............
