yes London is all to do with emissions

No it isn't, it's all about raising money. If it was about emissions it would be the same as on the Continent, older cars simply can't enter the Cities. I've just paid €4.51 for a replacement French sticker, that means I can drive into the Cities as often as I like. If I had an older diesel and went into the Cities it's a €140 fine the first time and seizure of the vehicle the second.

how many RRs do you think would get the ULEZ charges 🤣🤣

All of them if built before 2006, which discounts the P38 completely. They need to meet Euro 4 if petrol (2006 onwards) or Euro 6 if diesel (2016 onwards) to be exempt from charge. However, it has been found that if you check the registration number for a 2001 or later 4.0 litre V8 P38 on the Transport for London website, it comes up as exempt from charging. It shouldn't, it's a mistake on their database so there's a loophole. A 4.6 comes up as chargeable and they are both Euro 2 so both should be. Before the ULEZ there was the T-Charge and there was a loophole in that one if you had an import. An import doesn't have the emissions standard or limits on the V5 so they didn't charge. When it changed to ULEZ, no information meant they would charge anyway, so that loophole was filled. I suspect the 2001 onwards 4.0 litre loophole will be plugged as soon as someone realises. They are losing out on income after all.....

I'm glad I cleared that question up I knew it was some class of euro engine couldn't remember what one it was

and how much of this income that the government takes is used for emission reductions and how much goes into revenue, very little i suspect all revenue.

my screen that got broken

Jeez, what hit that?

tree branch fell on it when missus was driving it luckily it didn't go through the glass as she had my boy in the passenger seat
