Nick Johns Posted July 29, 2007 Share Posted July 29, 2007 Further to the thread posted about the forthcoming low emission zone in London, for heavy commercials do you realise that by 2010 ANY Diesel powered commercial vehicle over 1.2 tons weight, ie. just about any van/ pickup privately owned or business use, which includes diesel Land Rovers manufactured after 1972 and before 2002 will have to comply with Euro 111 emission standards as per 2002 onwards, if you wish to drive at ANYTIME within the M25 area or pay an extortionate daily charge. Your vehicle will have to be modified with an approved particle filter or converter, some older engines will not meet the requirment.

lozzaboy Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 so glad i'v just sold my 2a and brought a 90 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Johns Posted July 31, 2007 Author Share Posted July 31, 2007 A swb 88/90 diesel Landrover with rear seats can be classed as a car which is exempt, but a hardtop or pickup diesel 109/110 will be a problem, vehicles with more than 8 seats are classed as a minibus. Petrol vehicles are exempt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lozzaboy Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 my 90's a soft top so would that be exempt or should i put some seats in the back? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Johns Posted August 1, 2007 Author Share Posted August 1, 2007 For an 88/ 90 Land rover or any similar diesel vehicle seats would have to be fitted so it becomes a car, how is yours registered? if it states on the V5 its a pickup then its a commercial and will have to comply, presumably you have to change the category with DVLA to 7 seater The system is monitored by number plate recognision cameras linked to DVLA, so if its registered as a passenger car its exempt :-D....then of course up to you whether you keep the seats in......

TooTallMike Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 If I still live here by 2010 I'll probably convert a pre-'72 109" to coil-sprung chassis, 200tdi and uprated axles etc. The irony of the LEZ is that it'll probably push up sales of petrol vehicles, which will be exempt. Go figure! :dunno: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeEnfield Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 The irony of the LEZ is that it'll probably push up sales of petrol vehicles, which will be exempt. Go figure! :dunno: Aye, most probably,..............THEN they'll zap these as well: = no exclusions. :roll: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
