Do i need to get a new mod plate for the lower GVM or can i disregard the mod plate which is fitted if i don't require the increased GVM and seating capacity?...
I'm certain that you need another mod plate that supersedes the last one. Unless Engineer can suggest someone up your way, you could give my boss a call and he might be able to organize something over the phone.
If you're doing this to be able to drive on a car License why not go for your Light Rigid license instead. One of the guys from work is going for his first test tomorrow in Nambour. Less than $50 for the test and he hasn't had any lessons. They want $90 an hour for lessons or you can do a whole day course for about a weeks wages but he figured even if he fails tomorrow and has to do it again and again it will still be cheaper. I went for a drive with him in one of the motorhomes yesterday. He'll be fine.
If your after the cheaper rego fees under 4.5 ton, that's a different story. BTW If you want your partner / wife to be able to drive a Light Rigid as well, they'll only need a learners permit. A few guys do this without any issues.

Oh Yeah. How'd you fare after "Hamish"? The surf down here is big and looking pretty good but (don't know if you heard) there was a swamped tanker that got into trouble and spilt alot of oil and other toxic stuff which has now washed up on our beaches . Not happy Jan.
