Well that's annoying. Typical of my luck though!

I think this is an error. I'm checking loads of 2.5 V6 regs' and none are compliant, of any year, except that one in C&C.This matters of course because most UK cities will have ULEZs by 2021, confining our cars to out-of-town shopping centres or t' countryside.

I can't see how the odd one is compliant and the rest aren't. I've emailed TfL asking the question...I'll keep you updated.

Don't spoil it for the rest of us, mine is also OK.....

Not that I plan driving my ZTT into London despite being only 20 miles from Kings Cross and a Cockney by birth.

I am not sure the system is working properly. I put my old LR in and £12:50 charge showing. This is not correct as its Historic and exempt. I rang to find out and was told, yes its exempt on our system in the office. If it can show as payable when it isn't I am sure it could work the other way as well , payable when showing compliable.

My 2004 1.8T is compliant - pleasantly suprised.

My Avensis is compliant - shocked that even is lol. Annoyed some kv6 are and not others though as it means they once again can't get stuff right!

Could the difference be auto or manual - autos tend to have higher consumption and emissions.

Very good point, as autos are in a higher VED band.

I ran someone to Heathrow last weekend. Made good time, so went to McD's to kill an hour. As I'd entered the LEZ thought I'd check my 1.8 was ok on the phone.. It was. I continued to check all the cars in the car park, most diesel cabs. All of them passed. Couldn't see anything that failed. Maybe not surprising as if they failed they probably wouldn't be there. LEZ? I don't get it, but hope it doesn't spread.
