Can anyone either explain the VIN number or point me in the direction of any article as to how to read it and what information it holds about the car? 2010 HSE TD4 auto, Biscay Blue, Almond Leather, facelift front and rear, detachable towbar, front & rear mudflaps, bib spoilers, clear high level brake light, smooth rear wiper, colour coded door handles.

It's been mentioned before, if the 8th character is a 'C' then you have a DPF (Alex's link shows this) but mine and others that have a DPF do not have a 'C'.
