charge

I for one disapprove, but do you?

So yet another tax being introduced, upto £75 a year to have a permit to be allowed to drop off or pick up your kids from school! Again its being done based on emissions LINK

It seems that NYC has said no to the C charge which is an interesting development. http://www.pistonheads.com/news/default.asp?storyId=17857 and http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/7335806.stm

This was posted on a BMW forum by a policeman. Got this ent to me in an E-mail. A Mercedes dealer told a customer his car needed £4,376 to repair - the actual cost was just £36.25. The Mercedes was towed to a Nottinghamshire Mercedes garage following a breakdown. The Service Manager...

CONGESTION CHARGE TO CUT EMISSIONS BY LESS THAN 1% London mayor's plans will neither cut congestion nor drive down CO2, says SMMT SMMT has called for an extension to the mayor's consultation on proposed changes to the congestion charge. In an initial response to Transport for London (TfL), the...

Hi guys, Since I had trouble with low battery on my E270, I decided to buy a charger. I bought an Einhell WLGN 15 , but was is the best and most correct way to charge it ? Take out the batteri ? Leave it in ? Disconnect it ? and so on :-) Thanks in advance.

Does anyone know the latest on the proposed £25 congestion charge for high CO2 vehicles "inside M25"? :confused: I thought it was about now that a decision was to be published?

I found this on the TFL website, and don't recall it appearing on here before, if it has, apologies, I could not find it. Anyway I thought it worthwhile to post, for those of you who want to express an opinion in the consultation period. Consultation closes on October 19th...

Hi, I am just a little confused about this road fund licence and congestion charge thing???? I have a 2002 (new shape) CLK 320 and was just wondering what is going to happen about the road fund licence and congestion charge issue, I have read conflicting reports, some saying that the car...

Well I`m thinking of changing my 300e 24v saloon for a nice 420 or 500 sec but I have to drive into London several days a week for work, I carry lots of equipment and so public transport is out. Is the £25 congestion charge increase for cars over 3 litres pretty certain to go through? If so...

For what? So VED Band G and equivalent vehicles (above 225g CO2 per km), as well as those registered pre March 2001 with engines larger than 3,000 cc, would pay £25 a day London Congestion Charge. Naturally this has been put into terms of evil "gas guzzlers", "4X4" and "saving the planet"...

Greetings fellow Mercedes lovers, or in my case "just good friends" at present. I was returning from a week in France and missed the sign warning about speed cameras. I slammed my foot on the brake pedal, avoided the snapshot, but got the Battery Charge warning up on the dash. Anyway, got on...

Here are a couple of important points:- 1. Mayor Livingstone has announced that there will be a £25 congestion charge in London on 'gas-guzzlers' from 2009, while the standard charge will be £8. 2. BUT NOTE it is levied only on cars in the highest CO2 emissions band which is band G. 3. NOTE...

if i do not use my C270 (2001) for 2 days the battery goes flat, how can i check out what is draining the power? thanks for any suggestions

I'm guessing from the title, you guessed what this thread is about. What you probably don't expect is that it has NOTHING to do with my car... Actually, nothing to do with ANY car! Let me start at the beginning... once upon a time, in a faraway land, there was a parking attendent with a...

Ok, so it may not immediately affect those outside London. But it will in years to come as the principle spreads, what with the money Labour are offering to town councils to bring it in. I could sort of see the logic of the central zone - a mostly business area with plenty of public transport...
