some good news; I've received a letter from the police saying no action will be taken against me.

I still have the insurance stuff to deal with but they've sent an independent engineer to inspect my car who's confirmed it's not been in a accident, so I'm hoping this is also cleared up asap.

Thanks to those who replied with advice and support, much appreciated. To share my experience, the peipoo (probably wrong spelling) site is very informative (espec the forum) but I'm not sure how much should be taken as cast iron. I've nothing to hide so responded to all letters as requested while several aspects of peipoo advise a different tact. I took advice from my insurance company and also consulted with my bro-in-law who's plod.

The system for dealing with these things definately has flaws (out-of-the-blue very formal letter saying they intend to prosecute you for dangerous driving!?!) but I'm glad to report there's still real people in the system with reason and common sense who see through these shams.
