Check the Plate in the engine bay on the top passenger side suspension strut.

All the detail will be there.

The vin plate will only show what the car left the factory with, not what it has now.

What are the engine numbers that you have?

The OP said it's a UK2000 so he knows what it should have, he's asking if there's any way to determine what engine it has fitted now as he thinks it's been changed
