It's part of the VIN, which can be found at the base of the windscreen on the nearside, visible from outside the car.

To decode the VIN, see this document:

You can also enter the VIN into TOPIx and get a full spec for the car. Includes date of manufacture as well as date of reg - they can be very different! Mine was built in Feb 13 but only registered at the end of June. Ex AA Series III LWB Safari - Gone
300TDi Disco (bought new - terrible car) sent back after 18 months
Freelander 1 Estate - leased, given back at end of lease
200TDi Disco (bought from a mate with 100,000 on the clock) - Gone
Disco 2 TD5 - sold and exported to France
FR2 TD4 GS - Gone
FR2 SD4 HSE - Now changed for a DS
New model ex-demo Evoque S 180 in white
Unable to order a new DS, so gave up. Now have a Volvo S90 Recharge.

hahah thanks steve, is that all it was? I thought it might be a type of complex identification code for a a particular type of car or something.

Thanks!
