Road tax for a Disco

In the process of getting a Discovery TD5.

Am i correct in thinking that the government have backtracked on Road Tax and as a result, cars registered between 1st March 2001 and 23rd March 2006 with emissions over 225g/km with be capped at Band K which is going to be £215 as of 2009?

Was originally going to go for an X reg or older, but if the above is correct, I will be going for something like 02/03 plate.

cheers

Thats better than I thought, the backdating has been dropped. I can't see the value of my Freelander suddenly going back up though!
