It is easy to see that the VIN of Land Rover, according to the current rules, consists of seventeen characters. Actually, the specificity starts from the second position or from the fourth character. In the first place, as it should be, the international manufacturer code (World Manufacturer Identifier), where S is the geographical area of production and distribution of cars, in this case - Europe, A - country code (here - Great Britain), L - manufacturer, that is, Land Rover. The second position (these are the fourth and fifth characters) is a car model, where:
LN - Freelander;
LT - Discovery;
LD - Defender;
LP - Range Rover;
LM is the new Range Rover.
This is immediately followed by a more detailed "decoding" of the vehicle, indicating the market for which it is intended.

Many novice car enthusiasts, as well as experienced car owners, often ask the question: "Where is the vin code of the Land Rover car?", "Where is the vin number of the Land Rover car?" We will briefly try to answer these questions and tell you where vin is located in Land Rover vehicles.
On all modern cars, the VIN code (number) is located in the upper left part of the instrument panel, visible through the windshield (next to the right wiper). It can also be found on the left A-pillar of the vehicle body. Traditional places for applying VIN numbers are the cylinder block and head, body struts, door sills, the partition between the engine and the passenger compartment, and for cars with a frame structure (mostly SUVs), also side members.
On Land Rover vehicles the VIN code (number) is located - *:
1st place - VIN number is located on the dashboard of the front of the car, on the left side of the center.
2nd place - on the radiator frame.
3rd place - on the frame, behind the front right wheel.
4th place - on a plate attached to the bonnet lock platform.
5th place - on the right longitudinal beam behind the front body support.
6th place - at the bottom of the windshield, on the left side of the car.
* - the location may vary depending on the car model
For additional protection of your Land Rover from theft, as well as from theft of headlights and mirror elements, we suggest you to make anti-theft car markings.

Attempts to hijack
Anti-theft marking - car theft protector No. 1
Vin-code is a kind of indelible “stamp”. It cannot be taken out or removed and therefore the vehicle is easy to find. This is known not only by law enforcement agencies, but also by the hijackers. According to statistics, marked cars are stolen 79% less often than unmarked ones. In this case, the found cars in 85 cases out of 100 are provided with a vin code. Theft of a marked car is unprofitable for the hijackers: the risk is high, and the profit is about 12-15% less than the expected one. The fact is that marked glasses and mirrors will have to be removed and replaced with unmarked ones. If you sell a car for spare parts, then hardly anyone will buy "marked" glass and they will have to be thrown away without receiving money for them. In some cases, VIN marking is beneficial because of insurance: when insuring a car, the presence of a vin code can significantly reduce the cost of a CASCO insurance policy (Certain insurance companies provide a discount of up to 35% of the amount of the insurance premium)
