Thank you for the link. I'll have a look at that later on when I'm not up and down cooking dinner.

The law coming down on me is just what I'm worried about. Even in cases like this, not being in the know is no excuse. I personally feel that's a bit harsh, but it is what it is. We all know the government doesn't like being diddled out of their (our) money. I just wish there was some give and take - if I pay my tax bill a day late I get fined £100, but if I get a rebate it should turn up at some point in the next couple of weeks but if it doesn't you can ring them and they'll look into it for you. A perfect example of double standards in my mind!

Most of the use I have for the vehicle is off road, about 90% I'd say. But I think the fact that I want to now and again move a load of gravel or sand for my landscaping jobs wipes out the chance of using it as a tractor. What I have to sit and work out is whether it's worth running it as a LGV so I can do that or whether it would be cheaper to keep my pickup and have the mog as agri. If I run it as a lorry then it's no red, ever. Running it in the woods for a week on white isn't cheap or fair!
