    There will probably be loads of Qashqai with the number VH60 then three letters. It'll take a while to work through all the possibilities!
    Tall, dark & handsome. Well two out of three ain't bad.
  • It was while i was puckinv my grandson up from school so will more than likely see the car tomorrow,  if they had stopped and said sorry instead of just driving off i wouldnt be so cross . My car is only 3 weeks old and now has a nice black mark on it ( my caes white !) Total rudeness .
    Oh well will have to confront them tomorrow

    Knowing the colour will assist narrow it down.
    Then use one of the online tools.  I would try rate driver.  Start with the letters you might sensibly mistake for YDY, so V, O, etc.
  • It was dark purple i think 🤔

    24 x 24 x 24 = 13,824 VH60xxx combos. I and Q aren't used... And Qashqows were one of the UK's best selling cars at the time. Good luck. Even if you find one that you think might match, prove it was the right one.

    TBH, I'd be suspect about the first part of your partial.

    None of that range seems to actually be on anything.

    Compare that list with... <semi-random>

    It will be the one with paint on from the OP's car :wink:
  • lets be honest. the chances are if they know they hit your car (and faced with an insurance claim) they will park a few streets away for the next couple of weeks.
    worth having a quick drive round.

    I can tell you for a fact that U certainly is used in the three-letter part of the plate.
    <looks out window>
    Yep. Definitely.
  • Yes but Adrian, it's online that it isn't used. 

    Once it's online, you can't argue with it :)
