this gives you a full list of all co2 bands & at the bottom has the light goods vehicles

I'd been looking at that page, when I wrote my post - dunno what was going through my brain :oops: ..........mud probably :roll:

Some guys at work were slating the Disco yesterday, saying that the budget would hit 4x4's etc, I pointed out that them who drive 2.5 diesel and 2.4 petrol Audis we're also 'gas guzzlers'.........but having seen the Bands, I guess they might not be - anyone know of a website where you can look up the Band of any vehicle ?

Just found this place:

http://www.vcacarfueldata.org.uk/index.asp

only any good for new motors, but might give an indication.

What I'd really like to find, is a website where you stick in your vehicle make/model/fuel etc - and it says what your CO2 should be.

It still doesn't change the fact that Gordon Brown is a red Commie Stalinist who doesn't like people who don't conform to his ethics.

Easy solution to all this, Drive on Trade plates!
Cheaper than taxing the car!

Don't talk to me about Trade Plates!! Some theiving scum has half hinched mine out of a coach window, I left them in parked in our yard and now they have gone :roll:

OK, so if I am right, then my 1988 2.5TD will only cost Ã‚Â£180 per year

Or am I totally off the mark, if this is the case, then I am happy now :lol:

Yup thats right.

Whats most annoying for me is that my TDCI Mondeo that is used everyday costs Ã‚Â£135 whilst my little Vitara which I only use every other weekend costs Ã‚Â£180.

I still reckon that it would be fairer to put it all on fuel so that those that use most fuel (either by size or mileage) and therefore wear out the road more would pay more tax.

And before you all have a go at me, my Vitara only does 22MPG with the M/T's on.

ive got a landy series 3 perol on lpg, 1983 was built and registered on 1996 so what band is that and how much will it cost (sorry not very good at these things)

Why doesn't everyone just not pay road tax :?:
What are they going to do?...fine everyone who doesn't then pay the fine...would upset Mr Browns cash flow :shock: :D
Might actually force the government to do something that isn't just window dressing there problems & trying to win public support :roll:

Cos some little man in a black suit, and black shades will come round and clamp your car - seriously, there's an old Merc parked up just round the corner from here, the guy has another one on his drive, and it looks like he was using bits from one to repair the one on the drive. The one on the road has a bright yellow wheel clamp on the off-side front wheel, and a huge yellow and black 'Untaxed Vehicle' sticker on the front screen. Looks like Herts CC are out to get non-payers !!!!!

assuming it is higher than a 1549cc engine it will be Ã‚Â£180 for 12 months

edy · « **Reply #44 on:** March 21, 2007, 22:24:13 »

yep it is 2238cc

thanks for the reply

shaun and co · « **Reply #45 on:** March 21, 2007, 22:38:36 »

simple way to do it is just tip the odd barrel of red into your tank till you think your paying about the right amount of tax!!!

spyke_boi · « **Reply #46 on:** March 21, 2007, 22:50:48 »

My emissions are 248g/km.

But as i read it, i am band F as my Landy was registered after 1st March 2001 and before 23rd march 2007. Do i read right or am i band G??

Elmo · « **Reply #47 on:** March 22, 2007, 00:23:42 »

I just worked the wifes 03 Freelander TD4 to Ã‚Â£205 so I think you are - or we are both wrong :) Trusty old Elmo gets a Ã‚Â£ one hundred and eighty which is kinda bizarre given that (a) its 2.5L (ish) and (b) its an older engine (200 TDI) and therefore I would imagine less "green".

Can't wait to tell her in the morning though :) :) :) :)

*Prays to the Devil Ducks that MoonBuggy is Band F*

DaveS · « **Reply #49 on:** March 22, 2007, 09:47:03 »

248 CO2 is band G but the new rates only apply to vehicles registered after 23 March 06 (I think that's when the band came in)

Band F (186-225 CO2) is a Ã‚Â£15 increase on petrol and Ã‚Â£10 on diesels and alternative fuel.
