go to http://www.etis.ford.com/

click on the "vehicle" tab and lookup the registration. That should give you a definitive answer as to what vehicle left the factory!!

All I could explain it to is a clerical error out of either the Factory at Cologne or Genk, or the dealership perhaps

It will be an error, you may need to get written confirmation from Ford but you can notify DVLA and they would make the necessary changes to their database and your logbook. Two blokes at work have mk3 Mondeo 2.0 TDCi Ghia's but both were registered as Zetec S's

No the Police won't be "arse holes" if they pull you because DVLA have put the wrong information on their records, they'll be doing their job as i'm sure you'd appreciate if some "arse hole" was driving round in a iffy motor that had been stolen from you.

I noticed that when I plugged my VIN code into Etis it came back saying my ST24 was an Si. I'm pretty sure it isn't an Si as they're supposed to have the close ratio gearbox, and the fact that Si's never came here
