	Dear RR hive mind. I have recently purchased a Liner Rough Rider dumper. It has a number plate, but the previous owner never had a V5 for it. It is showing as not taxed or tested on the DVLA website, so does that mean it's 'on the system' and ought be fairly straightforward? The V62 looks pretty simple, should I include a covering letter? And take photos of the chassis plate, number plate (if I can get both in one picture all the better) and a selection of anything else to aid identification. I don't really need to go on the road, but it means I can (legally) nip across a road which would avoid a steep boggy patch of the property. Also, thump along the lane to the pub on it... A picture of the beast Doovla says; Also, would it need MOTing? I guess if I can get a V5, I will insure it and just try to tax it and see what happens. Or wait till Dec when it turns 40? Any advice appreciated. I'm hoping it will be delivered today, but am away 'till Saturday, and can't wait to play on it.

	I'd just fill in the V62 and send it Don't want to confuse them or give them anything to say no

	It becomes MOT exempt 1 Dec '24 and zero rated (tax exempt) April '25. As said, don't give them any more information than they ask for, it confuses them and adds delay.

	Just fill in the basic lost logbook form and send the £25. Do not at this point send anything else or they will get confused. It's going to be registered agricultural or as a works truck so free road tax and MOT exempt anyway.

I'll fill in the form out in my neatest handwriting and, as the internet youths would say, send it. I will report back... Thanks guys.

	I have no useful advice, just want to say that thing is cool as a polar bear's ball bag and I'd love to have one (the dumper, not the polar bear).

I'm dead excited, I bought it as I need to put some land drains in, and have loads of gravel to move. And I really wanted one!

	The salvage yard we used to get a lot of stuff from had one for dragging wrecks about. I'm assuming as you're is a relatively modern one it will have a starter motor rather than a handle? If it's got a handle make sure you know how the decompressor works etc

	dodgerover Looks like a starting handle on the back of it in the first picture above your post and the engine picture shows the valve lifter lever. Engine looks its a two cylinder Lister, if it is they can be a a curse word to start, one of the rigs I worked on had a emergency compressor driven by one, it had me on my knees a couple of times before I learned the technique 🤣

	Thanks chaps, I went down today to mess about with it. Yeah it's a single cylinder Lister, no electric start, I think I am beginning to get the 'knack' of starting it, the decompression lever needs 'feeling' in, all good fun. It started on my 3rd attempt, I was quite surprised, I was more worried about it breaking my thumb/arm than not starting, but actually it isn't so hard.

	Once you get the knack of it try starting it when you've got a few in. That'll be the real test.
