Default Engine Number layout

Need to inform the DVLA of new engine number, the digits has been painted over but are still legible just one isn't as clear as the rest

It's the third digit in - should it be a number or a letter? i think it's a number going off the previous engine number.

Looks like a 0, but looks like it could be a C or a G at the mo

scrape the paint off then scribble over it with chinagraph then wipe off, should leave white in the dents from the letters which will help read it.
