i might be wrong but thats how i see it.

I think you have hit the nail square on the head Andy
Being as there is so much conflicting information available on the DVLA & VOSA websites. I would urge anyone that is unsure of any of the issues raised in this and other threads to write to thier local DVLA office for written confirmation of thier views.
I have spoken to my local IVA examiner in person. He has given me guidelines based on his interpretation of the rules.
This is the person who will carry out my IVA inspection. I would be a madman, not to follow the advice given.
I now have a letter prepared for my local DVLA office, hopefully I will get a written response that addresses my concerns over engine & donor parts required for an age related plate.
It is my understanding that you do not need to use the donors engine to obtain an age related plate as enough parts will be used from the donor to qualify for an age related plate.
Ultimately, my local DVLA will handle the registration of my buld. Again I will follow thier advice to the letter.
As said before different offices may give different guidelines, so many of the rules are open to personal interpretation of them.
If in doubt Andy. Ask the local offices that will be dealing with you build.
With a little luck all will be plain sailing. Fun all the way from then on
