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.

For everyone modern cars The VIN code (number) is located in the upper left part of the dashboard, 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 pillars, door sills, the partition between the engine and the passenger compartment, and in cars with frame structure(mostly off-road vehicles) - also spars.

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 against theft, as well as against 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 not profitable for the hijackers: the risk is high, and the profit is approximately 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)
