FLR or ILR , should I send my passport back again

Dear All,
I have got a question. This discussion might have been on this forum before. If any body remembers the link please post it here.
1. I got 2year HSMP visa under the rules in place April2006-Nov2006, 'out of country application'.
2. I got extension under judicial review for further 3 years 'from the date my fisrt entry clearance was granted' and not from the date I 'entered' in UK.
3. Now my ILR would be due after completing '5' years under the catagory as per judicial review.
At the end of my extension I will be short to reaching 5 years threshold as per guidance available. i.e. I entered late after granting my initial HSMP Visa.
When I got my extension a letter was also sent to me by ukba saying that this extension would be enough for me to reach the settlement threshold that made me feel that they will consider it from the date of visa granted. But now I have seen it in ukba website that for out of country applications it would be from the date of entry.
Now it seems I need to apply for another extension just for only 2 months before my ILR????? (spending lots of money on application fees)
Does any body share any ideas or has any body got extension for 3 years from the date of entry to cover their 5 years threshold. I remember some of the posts on this forum where some members sent there passports back to ukba to get correction in FLR dates.
I appreciate your responses.
Regards
