@LCOF Жыл бұрын

I’ve looked into this. There are ULEZ compliant cars that start from £500. And I don’t know if you’ve ever lived in London, you can’t do it on a shoe string anyway. You either have the money to run a car there or you don’t and use public transport. Not one person arguing against this shows any anger towards car manufacturers who have been producing cars for years that produce toxic emissions at ground level and are especially harmful in built up urban areas such as London. But anyway, if you can’t afford to change your car to a ULEZ one, which start at £500, you have messed up priorities. This is the factual argument I use that shuts every naysayer down immediately. £500. Also public consultations are wildly biased towards NIMBY types and most progress would grind to a halt if we listened to career contrarians.

Also live in london, east end myself. Recently this week sold my first car, a VW Polo Blue GT trading in for a new car, so I can relate to the sadness. The bit I relate to the most is the living in London bit. The borough I live in charges an emission fee on top of the cost of the parking permit. So despite buying a new car which meets emission standards, the borough is charging me for having a hybrid car that puts out 139g/km to the tune of another £100 a year on top of the £100 it costs for my parking permit. But, people who have drives and have older e36's are not being charged for the boroughs emissions tax to drive their cars... Logic?

The gov website says you won't be charged for the days your car is parked inside the boundary but how do they know?

Alex, that either needs a new battery, or a new starter motor. The starter motor is in the middle of the V of the engine and it's a common failure as it gets baked with heat and sometimes drenched when the plastic coolant pipes burst.

The ULEZ expansion is a travesty. Revenue generation, which could backfire. With home working now established as a real option for people, their is likely to be an exodus from the capital/major cities with expanding ULEZ's. Talking of which Alex did you consider moving?

The whole point is to destroy the middle class. They're doing similar things in America, but nowhere near as aggressively. They'll riot, unlike in the UK. They'll just keep taking the hits and roll over, and that doesn't feel good to say. Its upsetting to watch.

There's been talk about doing that here in Australia too. There's also an electric car tax here every year that gets tacked onto your registration costs, as the Gov can't tax you for your petrol.

My 2014 diesel turbo Mazda CX-5 actually doesn't get hit by the ULEZ! I was surprised, as I thought it was anything older than 2016, but it somehow meets the standard when I did the online checker. My RX-8 also doesn't require me to pay ULEZ charge. Figure that one out!

@rkan2 Жыл бұрын

How about exploring options for EURO4,5,6 and further upgrades? Especially for EURO4 there are a few options of which the biggest problem is definitely not technical but more inspection and registration related. It is possible in EU in some countries, so really it should be possible in other EU countries too. (Maybe the previous ones too lol)

@squeakers27 Жыл бұрын

Funny that you mentioned that B5 S4 doesn't meet the criteria BUT if you have a Y-Reg one it does, because my father has a Y-Reg B5 RS4 and on the TFL checker, it meets the criteria. This is where what cars meet the criteria gets weird, because how it works is that cars have to meet or be below the NOx levels set in the euro 4 (or euro 6 for diesels) so if you have a Pre 2001 car (when it wasn't mandatory for manufacturers to state CO2 and NOx on their vehicles) it simply isn't compliant but if you have a car that is 2001 or later, simply enter your reg into the TFL ULEZ checker and you might be surprised. (The 2006 and 2016 rules are just rough estimates of where the line is, so always check!) But it does make an interesting example in the case of certain cars like the B5 S4s where despite having the same engine and emissions, having a pre-2001 one isn't compliant and a 2001 and later one is. Thought people might find this interesting.
