Posts: 500   Yes , yours is in the range. The 5 is MY '05, so that number after the '5A' in 2005 to the other number after the '7A' in MY07, which is a lot of vehicles.(the usual LR lightning response to problems)    Sat Jul 19 2008 12:03am DiscoStu   Joined: 09 Apr 2006 Location: Essex Posts: 6366   You might not want to post your VIN in public - I'd edit it out  Black Betty Tunisia 1 2 3 Power by    Sat Jul 19 2008 9:18am DiscoStu   Joined: 09 Apr 2006 Location: Essex Posts: 6366   Information on VIN's here - http://www.disco3.co.uk/forum/topic4848.html?highlight=vin Black Betty Tunisia 1 2 3 Power by    Sat Jul 19 2008 9:19am beesle   Joined: 17 Jun 2008 Location: widnes, cheshire Posts: 33 discostu, I wasnt sure wether or not to post my vin number but I cant reelly see a problem with doing so, anyone realy can get my vin number when Its parked up in a carpark. Al they have to do is look in the window   Sat Jul 19 2008 10:51am DiscoStu   Joined: 09 Apr 2006 Location: Essex Posts: 6366   I know it can be read through the windscreen, but it then becomes a 'chance' issue. If it's on a public forum, anyone can take their time and plan a clone, even if they're abroad. You'd be surprised how much information can be gleaned from a small amount of online info.
