 Dunno about coming and going etc, but I reckon it's four year from your arrival date. The issue date is mostly just there because you need to validate your visa (ie arrive in the UK) no more than 6 months after it was issued.

    I'll check it out anyway, thanks again. 
 Ray - you can have first dibs but you'll need a fatter wallet than that! I want to take it back to Aus when I eventually go home, these things still fetch $30kAUD.
