Dear members,
I am a newbie to the forum and just got a 2nd hand OKA which is located in Johannesburg, South Africa. I have done basic maintenance checks, changed all liquids and want to gear up the vehicle to do trips around southern Africa.
A couple of basic questions in the beginning:
The number on the frame behind the left front tyre is: 6N544B3M170327. Is the three digit VIN used throughout this website part of this number?
How would I know which OKA model I have, i.e. XT; LT, etc. ?
Thanks for your help

Thanks for your help clarifying,
so I have OKA LT 327!
Does anyone know where to get workshop and parts manuals for the LT series as a PDF file?
Does the OKA factory or any dealer still have spare parts on stock which I could order?
I would need e.g. V-belts, brake pads and air filter; are these standard sizes so I could look for them in South Africa?
P.S.: I have just seen a great truck recovery video shot in Botswana.

Welcome along 327 - what shall we call you?
I have added that video to the collection under the "Members' OKAs" tab at the top. And we worry about the cost of our tyres!...
