cdx will have a 4 disc changer with tape, sunroof, rear electric windows as well as front, heated front seats, front fogs, xenons (i think) along with headlight washers

GLS will have none of the above

check other details on the V5 just to be sure, inc chassis number and engine codes

Did you check it? :-/ :-/

don't think VIN no details are on that link ,but it should tell you what model is registered to that reg. plate (  GLS, CD, CDX, Elite etc.)

If comes up GLS could just be a mistake from DVLA hopefully :-/ :-/ :-/       
As said by other Offers -  you need to check VIN no's & engine No. when you get logbook :y :y

I would'nt worry too much about the DVLA describing your CDX car as a GLS provided the VIN numbers match correctly. They frequently make these kind of typo's. I had a BMW R100RT motorcycle that was described as being steam powered  :o

Just make sure the VIN number is correct.

Oh that's gotta be the best one yet....... was your insurance cheaper because it only did 1.5mph?  ;D ;D ;D

Might be a good idea to get it changed on the log book, knowing how insurance companies work they will do anything to get out of paying up in the event of a claim, at least make sure they know its really a CDX

I have seen this myself a couple of times, DVLA do make mistakes and will change it if you write a letter to them, so I believe :y

I owned a red Sierra about 15 years ago.  I got pulled by the police early one Sunday morning because he'd done a check on my car and it came up as black from the DVLA.  He checked it over and it was obvious that it had never been resprayed so he simply shrugged and said this sometimes happens.

When I got home, I checked my V5 and, sure enough, it was registered as black.  I never did get it altered...
