I'm here again, still looking for the right Disco.
Am I correct to think that a diesel Disco registered pre-April 2001 pays
£180 road tax and the same vehicle registered after that April pays
£400?
I'm not in any rush, but if anyone here is wanting rid of a T-ish reg
auto TD5 in the Liverpool to North Wales corridor, I'm all ears at
billaboard at gmail dot com. There were a few around when I looked for
an older Disco, but there seems a sudden famine. Christmas, I suppose.

Bill,
As i understand it the £400 tax only applys to cars registered after 23/3/06
(see
http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/Motoring/OwningAVehicle/HowToTaxYourVehicle/DG_10012524).
My 2001 TD 5 cost me £112.75 for 6 months back in Spetember of 2007, 12
months was £205.
Also if you go here http://deadsmall.com/2U2 you can enter the reg number of
car and it will tell you what the Tax will be.

Any cars registered before March 1st 2001 DO NOT fall into the co2 carbon
emission classes. Any vehicle registered on and Including March 1st 2001 ALL
fall under the co2 listings. My February 2001 (X reg) Discovery only cost
£180.
Help this helps.

From DVLA site - http://tinyurl.com/2qjhpn
Any vehicle registered after 01/03/2001 in Band G pays £300, but next
year it will be £400.
Anything before 01/03/2001 pays a flat rate, currently £180, even if it
is exactly the same vehicle as one registered after that date.

Look again!
Band G is for vehicles first registered on or after 23/03/06 and with
CO2 in excess of 225 g/km. There is no Band G if first registration is
before 23/03/06.
The highest rate for first registrations before 23/03/06 covers vehicles
with CO2 in excess of 185 g/km. The current rate is £205 pa.

Yep - any car registered before 23/03/2006 maxes in band F, not G.

Yup, my 2006 4.2 SC RR is charged at max band F (£205) as I got in on the
9th March 2006. My mate had his delivered just after the 23rd and he has to
pay £300.
