The ULEZ is completely different. Currently it shares its boundary with the Congestion Charge zone but in October 2021 is scheduled to be extended to within the north and south circular roads, which still doesn't include Heathrow. It applies to both diesel and petrol engines and it's this system which is being discussed in this thread, not the LEZ!

It seems the LEZ doesn't apply to cars or motorcycles, period, never mind diesel or petrol:- "LEZ: only covers larger vans, minibuses, lorries, buses and coaches as well as other specialist vehicles driven within most of Greater London" https://tfl.gov.uk/modes/driving/che...-vehicle-35896

Now When it came to alerting TfL about V6s & ULEZ, I was very mindful of releasing Shere Khan into Trafalgar Square, so before I did I spoke to a work friend who helped create the ULEZ . His advice was to petition TfL to have ALL the V6s shown exempt, since because TfL aren't allowed variant type registrations within the same engine So, that's what I did.

This may go nowhere, but I've employed a damage-avoiding approach.

Paul.
