I just put my registration of my 2006 TD4 into the London low emission zone website and got a result saying that my FL is exempt any charge.

I am confused as I expected it to be high on their hate list.

Can anyone who travels through this zone confirm that FL's are exempt any charges?
 
Every one pays the congestion charge only motorbikes and disable registers cars are exempt.
And there's others that don't i.e. Fully electric vehicles and hydrogen fuel cell cars are exempt from this charge, along with a number of efficient hybrids.

Only if the left the factory with the LPG conversion, not if retro fitted, l purchased two Bedford vans fitted with LPG to escape the charge as both are in The Zone every day, they have long gone we have Berlingo vans now

I thought the congestion charge and the low emissions zone were the same thing.

I assume my other car, a 65 plate clio with stop / start and no tax payable is free in both zones or is it not?
 
Low Emission Zone is permanently in place 24/7, keeping those vehicles out the affected area, day and night.

Charging zone is only operational at specifics times on weekdays. e.g after 7pm on a weekday, you can drive through the charging zone without having to pay a charge.

Or to put it another way, the L series Freelander is banned from driving through central London at any time. While the TD4 could be used, but you will have to pay to do so if going there during the day.

As Nodge says, it's better to just use public transport, (which is probably the idea!), as it often takes ages to get about, there are bus lane cameras everywhere, and parking costs a fortune.

At the moment, but I think it will affect non commercial vehicles soon.

And rumours are about for the pedestrianisation of Oxford Street .... all of it ...

What makes my pee boil is even if the UK was completely co2 neutral next year it would still be offset by the increase in china's emissions. It's just another cash cow. I seem to remember reading that our global output is 2% and china's output went up by 2% because of all the coal power stations they've got
 
The emission checking website must be completely wrong. My 2001 petrol Freelander also comes up being exempt from the pollution charge - but it isn't EU4 certified; it's EU3 compliant. Oddly, the check website seems to think it is EU4...

I'm confused, but perhaps the K-series petrol is sufficiently clean to meet T-charge exempt criteria? More likely, the database is wrong.

To my knowledge, no Td4 FL1 is EU6 compliant?
