--- Quote from: DavidA on May 03, 2015, 06:07:59 PM ---Phil, ..The other benefit is the Road tax (sorry - Vehicle Excise Duty) which is only £20 a year compared with around £240... £20 per year. :bugeye: How did you manage that ? My 1.5 Citroen Saxo Diesel cost, if I remember, £146. (I'll check on that and come back if wrong.) Dave. edit £145 per year. --- End quote --- Dave: I've just checked what it would have been for my previous car - £290! Online calculator: https://www.gov.uk/calculate-vehicle-tax-rates Phil. |

It is wise to have the injection pump fitted with Viton seals if using bio-diesel. My peugeot runs true B 100 bio-diesel most of the time and it required the seals in the pump changing over from Nitrile to Viton last summer after a seal failed. Also fuel hoses should be checked for compatibility and changed to a bio proof version if needs be....OZ. |

Phil, I ran my Saxo through the same process. I did it do first registered in 2001, and it's true first register year of 2000. And got. Vehicle CITROEN Saxo Saxo 1.5 D, M5 12 month cost £130.00 Monthly cost: £11.38 – total: £136.50 6 month cost £71.50 or £68.25 if renewing automatically by Direct Debit Date of first registration 9/2001 Tax band E Engine capacity (cc) 1527 Transmission Manual Fuel type Diesel CO2 138 Euro standard 3 Tax class 49 That huge difference in cost is down to 34 PPM of particulates. The annoying thing is that my car doesn't have this particulate emission when it is on bio. But that doesn't count. I should add it was taxed last July, before the change in the regulations. That would explain the discrepancy between £145 that I payed and £130 as in the list. But I would brace yourself for a big hike in motoring cost if Cameron gets back in. He has promised not to raise so many things that motorists will look even more inviting. Dave |
