Hi Saint,

My 90 is listed on the V5 as "taxation class PRIVATE/LIGHT GOODS (PLG).

But it is not LEZ compliant. This is because it is listed as body type a LIGHT 4X4 UTILITY made before jan 2002 it fails.

Cheers
Thanks for the amendment - yes, it is body type not taxation class....I know it is if it is mentioned on the V5C as Light 4x4 Utility Vehicle, just couldn't remember where on the document!
 
I have read that all 90/110s were typed as Light Utility by LR. Don't know if that was true right until the end of production. I also read, quite recently, that someone got his changed by DVLA quite easily. I spoke to DVLA about in in 2012 and they were very encouraging. Unfortunately I wrote the car off and so didn't go further...

That aside - you might want to consider what the lovely Mayor Khan is going to do. I wouldn't be buying a diesel if I was in London.
 
Just looked at the V5C for the girlfriends 1991 300Tdi powered 110 County - that has a body type designation of Estate.....and I have been driving that into Heathrow for the last year or so with no issue.

When the V5C arrives for my 1988 300Tdi powered 110 SW I'll see what the body type is for that too.
 
As I understand it a Station Wagon is fine, the same Landy without rear windows isn't! Bloody stupid!!
 
Hi all

I don't know how many of you people live in and around London who might be affected by the new emission Zone. I live in Romford which is just in the zone.
I have found out that my 1999 90 TD5 defender will not pass the emission zone target for 2010. I know its a long way off but if you are like me You normally get a landy and have it for years, but because of the emission zone(thanks to ken Livingstone)If I want to use my landy it will cost me £100 per day, which is a complete no no.
I have looked in to this and it doesn't matter if its a county, pick up or van you will still have to pay.Something to do with the weight.
Landys after 2002 will pass the emission(unless they change that)However these one will be paying £400 a year in Road tax
I think its a bloody disgrace.
I going to have to sell my landy ,which like most of you have spent a good deal of money on because of this. I wouldn't mind but i don't go into London with it

Just checked my 97 110 and it came up as not having to pay.

Just round off my input - received the V5C for the new aquisition the 1988 110 CSW and that is listed as an Estate body type too so is not subject to the LEZ as the checker indicated.
