Hi . I have a 1985 XJ12 VDP and every place I look to decode my vin it says I have a 4.0 L twin canister engine. Heres the vin SAJBN1049FC411134 . Shouldnt the seventh digit be an 8 for a J12 ?
Thanks for any help .

It sounds like you have a non-USA car.

Are you using the VIN that's on the firewall...visible with the hood open, right about where the diagonal fender braces come together? Or are you using a VIN that's on a door tag and/or windshield pillar?

Most VIN decoders are set up to North American convention so the VIN on the firewall, if that's what you're using, wouldn't work.

Cheers

This is the vin on the windsheild pillar and door tag . I get conflicting results when i look this up on different sites . It my be a Canadian car . Do you know of a vin ID site just for XJ sereis ?
