I think they were referring to the freelander 1, as this is the controversial retrospective road tax being applied to cars made between 2001 and 2006. Of course in the future, they are also raising tax rates and introducing new tax bands for cars made from 2006. The FL2 will move into band K and rate will be £300. Also mention the new car supplement (ie. showroom tax) of £550 for the FL2. Phil |

Stop/start systems can often involve a bigger starter motor and or battery so not so simple to retro fit, also adding this later would not alter your V5 so the co2 band would not be altered. At work |

Mrs Avtur has a Daewoo Lanos 1.6 Auto, luckily for us (????) it is a pre 2001 car; but the same car was available for several years and well past the 2001 deadline for VED.

The tax we are being made to pay just for being motorists is appalling. Fuel tax is killing businesses and adding pounds to all household bills because 80-90% of everything we buy is moved by road. On top of that the Government has seen another opportunity to tax the motorist with this so called 'green' tax - absolute b |

Industry does get shafted too by the 'climate change levy' which is an extra levy on energy bills. To reduce this levy each location has to improve on its carbon emmisions year on year, those failing to show annual improvement have to buy carbon offset on the open market. Last year I had to buy £250 worth of these due to using electricity, oil and propane in my chicken sheds. but surprise surprise it cost that much again in 'account set up fees' and trading costs. |

I imagine it all goes into the 'pot'. If we spent even a fraction of the taxes motorists pay actually on the roads we'd have the best road network in the world.

The angle that got me so mad about all this, was the way the media gullibly headlined the latest road tax changes as "Chancellor goes for 4x4 gas guzzlers" etc,
