Yes due to that idiot and his number crunching cronies, looks like I will have no option but to get rid of the omega, that I have cherished since 2003, I am not a happy bunny at all, my car will incur the daily charge, just because I live in the extended ULE zone, Thanks lot Mr Mayor!!!

[Bigron]

Boris wouldn't have done that to you!

Ron.

[tunnie]

Sorry to hear that, my office is right on the border.

Has to be at least Euro5 for diesel, so means a lot of old big engine derv is out.

If they tweak or extend the ULEZ, I’m stuffed as well!

[TheBoy]

That's an arse .

I suspect it will come to everywhere soon, in order to force us onto impractical milk floats.

[MikeDundee]

Contemplating an insignia VXR which will no incur the charge

That'll do it 

[Raeturbo]

What’s this charge for then?

[Bigron]

Revenue collection - no other reason for it. 

Ron.

[Raeturbo]

Might have guessed 

[STEMO]

No! It's to save the world. 

[Sir Tigger KC]

Think of the poor little children!   

[Migv6 le Frog Fan]

Have you checked on their site ? I put the reg of my 02 Omega in and it said I wouldn't have to pay. 

[Lizzie Zoom]

My 2003 3.2 is also exempt from this scheme, so I will be able to continue in driving around Greater London without charge

[zirk]

Yea, both my 3.2 Manual Ex Police are showing as ok.

Is this your vehicle?

You are not subject to the ULEZ.
You do not need to take any action. However, other charges may apply.

Like the Congestion Charge

But I make sure I do not take any vehicle that is not exempt to the centre of London, so for me this charge is irrelevant.   

[TheBoy]

I just avoid Londonium. Problem solved.  There is nothing there for me anyway (ignoring my work commitments of course).

^THIS^   

Why the hell anyone would want to drive into London just to sit in endless queues of traffic, choking on fumes (Think of the poor little children!) while you go nowhere fast, is beyond me! 

For the poor sods who live there though....   

[Raeturbo]

That’s such a good post.

Not convinced their reg checker is working correctly.

3.2 in the Omega is Y32SE, which is Euro3 spec. Only Euro4’s were some very late 2.2’s.

ULEZ requires Euro4 (for now) so I think the Omega 3.2 would still get a charge....

[tunnie]

I can also see by 2021 rolling in, petrol requirement will be Euro5.

[VXL V6]

How many Omega's will still be on the road and driving through London in 2021 though.... 

That's assuming we don't run out of food, fuel and Guinness after Brexit.

After Brexit we will be calling them Carltons.

Now running out of that would be serious

Production process involves filling large tanks with pure spring water that ran down from the Irish mountains, then getting the Dublin sewage workers to throw their dirty socks into the tank to give the flavour and colour. 
Horrible stuff.

Then serving it so cold that the "flavour" can't be detected.

This is how they do things in Australia. 

The beer is shit, so they serve it so cold so that you can't taste it and you leave half of your lip on the glass!

Old country pubs in Ireland don't serve it cold. They line pints of it along the bar and sell them as and when people want them.
Im not keen on it no matter what temperature its served at though.

I would rather chew my own shit  than drink the stuff... no matter what temperature its served at.

Beat around the bush why don't you

One mans poison and all that

[STEMO]

I drank it for a while when I was younger. It's certainly an acquired taste. I seem to remember a very long, hot summer which made me turn to lager tops. Never went back after that.

FTFY 

[STEMO]

Nothing wrong with lager, unless you're an old fart who sits in the corner with a glass of mild saying it's all you can afford on your pension. 

[scimmy_man]

Oi less of the fart

[BazaJT]

Closest I've got to London in the last 35yrs is Heathrow or the M25 from the M11 round a couple of junctions to the Southend turn off.I have no desire to get any closer than that thank you very glad

[STEMO]

I lived there from 1987 till 1997. I liked the busyness and the bustle. I like the modernness of all the new bits that were sprouting up, and the thought of being on the doorstep of the West End and Soho, etc.
But I didn't like the 'getting about'. I lived in Ilford and worked in Chelsea Harbour for a good while. It put three hours on my already long day. I met wife number three there and, after it became obvious that we were going to settle down together, we decided it wouldn't be in London.
But I left 22 years ago, so I guess it's changed since then.

[Doctor Gollum]

Not for the better judging by some of the chavvy shite moving out to the nicer bits of the greater south east

[Phil]

TFL website says my Omega and Signum are not subject to ULEZ,both being petrol, my diesel 156 and Dispatch however are.

Currently the ULEZ is only the congestion charge area, but it will extend to everything withing the North and South circulars, which includes a huge part of the run run down sh!thole of East London, that'll cause the row

[MikeDundee]

So my 01 plate incurs the charge but an 03 plate 3.2 does not, maybe buy an 03 exempt plate and change all the bits from my car onto an 03 plate, by the time the charge comes in my car will be a modern classic but they are not exempt, only historic cars, bummer!!!!

[Doctor Gollum]

Apparently the Trolley is also exempt... That's a '52 plate.

[zirk]

Checked my little Corsa C LPG Van, its subject to the Charge  depite that fact that its Euro4, so it shouldn't be, Checked  another Reg in the Street thats earlier than mine (as far as I know all Corsa C are Euro4), thats coming back as Euro4 fine, no Charge.

Looked in to it a bit more, and because mine in on the LPG Register, its on the Data Base as Dual Fuel / Gas Bi Fuel, which knocks out the Euro 4 spec, so hows that fccking work then, thats what you get for converting to a Cleaner Greener Fuel and atempt to drive in London.  .

[Shackeng]

My 51 plate 3.2 is OK.

[neil74]

Mine is ok too..
