I have noticed that the VIN number described on the sticker under the bonnet is different to the VIN number shown behind the windscreen. The vehicle is a 2010 RRS HSE sold by Stratstone. I have entered the data into TOPix - at least one of the VIN's matches the vehicle - the one under the bonnet. How could this happen? Any ideas?
Looks very dodgy to me.

Which one is on the V5? Any / either?

The VIN shown on the Reg papers is the one under the bonnet. I suspect that the labels were mixed up at the factory. OR - my car has been made up of bits of another! Hope not...
Land Rover asked me to refer to the dealer. Not sure what help they will be!

what does the other VIN show  16MY Estoril Blue SVR.............
17MY Autobiography Dynamic - Corris Grey - WOW.
14MY Autobiography Dynamic - SDV6 - Fuji White
12MY Autobiography - SDV6 - Santorini Black - Dual View - Rear Entertainment - Sunroof.
12MY Autobiography - SDV6 - Orkney Grey - awesome ;(
2005 Java Black - 4.2 V8 Supercharged First Edition- will never be forgotten ;(

The VIN behind the windscreen shows a similar vehicle (Make/Model) but finished in Arctic White. Mine is Buckingham Blue.
The VIN under the bonnet looks right but the one under the windscreen is not related to my vehicle.

Land Rover customer services say get back to the dealer immediately. The dealer doesn't know what immediately means.

How did the vehicle pass it's PDI never mind - I'm sure your dealer will do the right thing either replace the incorrect ID tag or paint the RRS Arctic White

Good luck  16MY Estoril Blue SVR.............

Next I will see it fitted with White Wall Tyres. They are trying their best. Thats what worries me.

first thing i would do is check the one stamped into the chassis is the same as reg doc as that is the most important  silverRRS 2.7 TDV6 22"WHEELS FULL COLOUR CODE,STEPS,REMAP..gone

Thank goodness that checks out. Under bonnet VIN matches Car Reg data. Maybe Land Rover factory just mixed up the stickers for the behind windscreen VIN. Locating the corresponding victim would prove that. Up to the dealer to do all that.
Strats are on it and take the matter seriously.

That sounds super fishy....
The vin under the bonnet is attached to the front cooling pack housing
And is Changeable. The one behind the wind screen is part of the dash and is
Also changeable . You really need to find some vin that is stamped to the chassi
To find out which car you really have. Also pull some door, boot and bonnet
Rubbers to check for over spray and miss matched paint.
Luckily you bought it for a dealer so you are covered if the shut hits the fan:/

Surely LR will know who owns the Arctic white vehicle, and can check whether that vehicle has all the correct vin numbers on it.

If it hasn't, at least you will know it's only a mix up at the factory, and nothing sinister with your vehicle.
