I DO however have his old registration (??) with his phone number and address etc.
So, do I call him and ask if he wants to share some information, or will he hangup and call the police on me for having his phone number and address??
I tried facebook etc but there are too many people with his name in my area.
What would you do?

I would call. As the previous owner I would have no issues with providing whatever I could to help the new owner. That is like gold in my mind.
I purchased a Volvo years ago and shortly after that a humming sound started from the rear end. I found the previous owners information in the car, used that information to call a dealership in that city and asked some questions about the car before I took it back to the dealership I purchased it from. It came in handy. This was before the Inter web made privacy big.
