He will need to put the plate on retention, which will give him a a new registration plate for his(your old) truck.
Then he will make you the grantee of the registration on retention. £80 I seem to remember

plus you may need to pay a fee as the insurance companies like to charge to change particulars.

forgive me for sounding rude but i think your talking complete gibberish.


why does it need to go on retention? insurance company charge?

Well my insurance company charge me £15 to update the details. My friend was charged £25 for the same thing. Most don't but until you ring up, then you will find out.

Whether he(your mate) transfers the plate directly or through retention, it will cost you, unless you expect your mate to bear the cost of your laziness
