I pay £185.00 for a pre 2001 840 4.4 if that helps!

However much it is, odds on it's too much.

£185 if registered before March 1st.

£210 if afterwards.

Thats rather depressing...having just looked into it, if my car was one month older it would be £210 a year cheaper to tax! Boooo!

You are correct. No difference at all.

And you still have to pay the congestion charge.

There is a list of approved vehicles and installers that will entitle you to 100% discount on your congestion charge with an LPG converted vehicle.

The list of cars is quite rediculous too, Jeep cherokees and other such monstrosities yet quite a distinct lack of smaller engined vehicles!

Currently the discount will apply until 2010 when it may be extended or cancelled depending on how much money is lost through this (after all the environment is for making money not spending!)

Y reg should be March - August 2001. So it has missed the pre March 2001 £185 rate.

This vehicle is too old to qualify.
