2011 Freelander 2 SD4 GS Auto Stornoway Grey

Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) - Freelander 2 SD4 (2011

Does anyone know if there is anywhere else, e.g., in the engine bay, where the VIN is stamped on a 2011 FL2 SD4?

Handbook says:
The VIN is stamped on a plate which is visible through the lowest part of the left side of the windscreen.

I had my FL inspected today by the Irish National Car Testing Service (NCT) so I could register it with Irish plates and they seemed to think that the VIN plate visible from the windscreen is insufficient (!) and it should be stamped somewhere else. (It did n't help either that this model is too new for their database!)

Thanks in advance for any answers.

bigalf - had a good root around the boot but could n't see the VIN. Whereabouts exactly should I be looking?

I know this is an old thread but I am having he same trouble trying to register my car in Finland. VIN in the window Is not good enough... I have looked in the spare wheel well and cannot see it. Any other ideas... Did it change with year of the car ?

Many thanks
