Can one of you kind souls help me on this?
Despite reading the Wikipedia page numerous times I still cannot derive or understand the check digit calculation of my vehicle.
Using the example quoted in Wiki, how do they derive the "6 fixed numbers as (9, 4, 5, 4, 3, 2)"?
and why are the 19 characters used quoted in this order?? (A, Z, Y, X, U, T, S, R, P, M, L, K, J, H, G, E, D, C, B) where A=0, Z=1, etc...
Can anyone make this Wiki page a lot clearer to understand for a layman?
Cheers
