The number is on the case at the base of the oil breather tower.

I am looking to find my 17 digit VIN to look at when my van left the factory. There is an aluminium plate with the chassis? number under the passenger seat which is the same as the number in the DVLC document but that is too short? There is supposed to be a 17 digit number on a door post but I cant find it?

Any ideas how to find the whole 17 digit number?

Hard to see - behind the breather pipe, stamped into the case on a machined flat surface, roughly under no.3 injector .
