Wondering how does this effect us

I know that across in www.difflock.co.uk alot of people as pea'd because Landrovers Qualify as Non Compliant.

Where do we fit in?

Beacuse £100 / per day for a Non compliant vehicle is a crock of ****


This is as bad as POLL TAX

there's no way they are going to change this, do what I did and convert to LPG then you can have a nice big V8

iirc it only affects you if your registered as a private light goods vehicle and over 1.205 tonnes (and possible diesel only as well)

so it should affect kit cars until they change the rules which they will inevitably do at some point

yep, it's only for LGVs, busses, etc. Unless your car's *really* badly registered, it shouldnt' affect you......

A lot of landrovers are actually classed as commercial vehicles (or something like that) so not surprised the tax will affect them. They can however travel in the no car lanes in some towns too so its swings and roundabouts.


(Check the law before you take this as gospel though, im just going off what my learned friend who runs a landrover business has told me).

All you need to know here.
Can even check via reg if the vehicle will come under it at a later date.

Working in a LEZ zone would be seen as desirable in some countries.

Just put my 'fenders reg in their online checker, and it's not affected by it. (Low emissions )

Tried the MK, but as MK isn't an option on the manufacturers list it won't let me select it.

Anyone got a Caterham or Westfield, as they are listed as manufacturers.
