that engine is def a 110, those stickers are always wrong, ive seen some with 2 different stickers, mine has a 110 sticker and is a 110, on experian it comes up as a glx 110, yet my insurers tell me its an lx 110, and HPi tells me its a glx 90 :lol:
the log book shows it as a glx 110, sounds like a fault with the transponder ring, not unheard of to suddenly go dodgy, but also it can be the key, do you have a spare key?

Er, WOW!

Looks like maybe an engine transplant at some stage, losing the fuel cut safety switch, transplanted the keys, ecu, immobiliser from the donor 110 car,
