Anyway, here's a decoder for European Fords: http://www.btinternet.com/~madmole/vindecoder.html. More importantly, there's a breakdown of the Euro VIN, which is different from the US one. Position 11 is the year and 12 is the month. There's a table at that link that explains the complex coding of those, but unfortunately it only goes through 2005.
Position 11 and 12 can not be right as mine says "L" for 11 and "L" for 12!!!.
