I hope this helps, below was found on the internet.

"In the UK, replacing or altering a Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) is illegal unless done by authorized personnel for legitimate reasons, such as a manufacturer or an approved repair facility. The VIN is a unique code assigned to every vehicle, and it serves as the vehicle’s fingerprint. It carries important information about the vehicle's make, model, year, and much more.

If a vehicle's VIN is damaged, you should follow these steps:

1. **Contact the Manufacturer or Dealer**: If the VIN is damaged, the best course of action is to contact the vehicle's manufacturer or an authorized dealer. They may provide guidance on the process for repair or replacement.

2. **Report to the Police**: If the VIN has been altered or tampered with, it’s important to report this to the police. Tampering with a VIN can be associated with criminal activities, and reporting it can help prevent misunderstandings regarding the vehicle’s history.

3. **Contact the DVLA**: You should inform the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) of any damage or issues related to the VIN. They can provide guidance on how to proceed.

4. **Professional Assessment**: If the VIN is entirely unreadable, a professional assessment might be necessary. Some authorized vehicle repair shops can re-stamp the VIN under strict regulations, but this must be done legally and with relevant documentation.

5. **Documentation**: Keep a record of all communications with the police, DVLA, and dealers, as this may be needed for verification or future ownership issues.

It's crucial to follow legal guidelines, as attempting to replace or alter a VIN without proper authority can result in serious legal consequences, including fines and confiscation of the vehicle. Always ensure that any actions taken comply with UK laws and regulations."

the one that Land Rover initially stamped is from the vehicle behind on the production line, I have letters off the police & dvla confirming this. It is unusual I know but no one can offer any advice as Land Rover will not assist.

Take your documentation to an approved body shop and ask them to do it for you.

Tell Land Rover that they sold a vehicle that did not comply with the legal requirement to have a unique VIN and they need to fix it.

Send JLR a letter and mark it for the attention of Mr. David Berry and tell him that JLR sold a vehicle that had illegal VIN numbers on it. (Probably be ignored but what's the harm. After all, they screwed up, it's not up to you to spend time and effort fixing their screw up.)
