Road Tax Cost
« on: December 21, 2010, 11:45:33 AM »
Anyone got a 2005, early 2006 Disco?  How much Tax are you paying?  I understood that cars post 1st April pay tax based on emissions and that us LR drivers would end up paying ?400+ per year.  For that reason I have been telling my better half she could not change it for a newer Disco 3 .....  I was surprised to hear that cars registered from 1st April 2000 but pre end march 2006 are actually paying ?235 per year, much the same as I am paying now. Any one know if this is true?

Definately band K (?245) for a Disco 3, I run a March 2005 one, the magic date is to be registered before 23 March 2006, otherwise you take the full hit.

I pay ?400+ for my Defender TDCI 07 and as far as I know the intention is to harmonise the charges so I stay at the top whack and the rest creep up to meet me.

At least Dick Turpin wore a mask when he robbed you >:( >:(

Put it all down to the greens and tree huggers ably supported by the anti 4 x 4 brigade

Would love an old Series, my Dad and I restored the 1948 Series 1  Chris has, (at least I assume he still has it) I cant convince my wife to keep our 300tdi Disco so don't fancy my chances convincing her to go to an old Series.  I have the V5 (and rather allot of rust) for a 2 door tax exempt Ragie, sadly you cant MOT or drive rust! Onward and upward??
