I'd check up on the old insurance first, they can be a bit greedy with younger drivers even for the slow diesels. Hope you get sorted.

You mean you live on a farm... NFU are good but are you old enough? I had a feeling you needed to be 21.

Also try Adrian Flux 4x4 department, they are good with young drivers and modifications. Give them a ring.

Good choice of first vehicle. Any pics yet? and I'll give you a wave if I see you around.
