For the benefit of those readers lucky enough to be living in the pure, clean air of the British countryside and other large cities, the payment was called London weighting.

London is a 'hole - surprises me why anyone would choose to live there (I can understand those trapped - my sympathy to them), though some do. Of course, I don't rate Nottingham much either - or any city for that matter (I prefer fields) - another place also considering extra taxes on the motorist and the first city to get SPECS.

The 2004 ZT 180 2.5 V6 is also exempt, but the 2004 ZT 260 V8 isn't

My car doesn’t comply so if I can’t drive in London I may as well give up driving.

Only joking

I'm glad I don't live in the grimy south east

Don't know if this'll help V6 owners clarify the situation?

Next there will be a further tax on coffee too!

I put in the reg no. of my 2005-build CDTi, and it told me there was no charge, but is this because it is registered on an 08 plate ? I then put in the reg. no. of my 2001 CDT, and it said this would be subject to a charge. Did the Euro spec of 75 CDTs change between 2001 and 2005 ?

Quite interesting

It's nothing more than an excuse to bleed the motorist dry, an easy target yet again!
This is not about pollution/congestion because if it were, why not just put an outright ban on vehicles that don't meet their 'requirements' & be done with it?
An outright scam that's what it is.
About time there was a pollution charge on airplanes I think!!!!

and our 2001 2.5 V6 ZT 190 and the 2000's 2.0 V6's are subject to the charge where as the 2003 2.0 V6 Tourer isnt subject to the charge.. wow..

Mmmmm....

Looks like the site checker is up the creek. My R75V8 passes if I use my Dutch registration (which it is happy to accept), but a UK registered one from the photo-gallery, made in the same week in 2005, not ! Explain that.
