As per the May 2004 Galaxy Brochure the following are the CO2 emissions for the whole range in grms/km, anything over 225 will fall into the new higher tax bracket paying

Console yourselves - the motorist got off lightly - It's a bugger if you smoke and drink wine!. ( I don't)

 

All in all I don't think the budget will make much difference to me.

Luckily I had my Tax renewal for the end of March when I heard it was the Budget. Decided to go and tax it on the basis that they slap another fiver on every year - didn't expect it to save me

:o yep my renewel said

[katman]

my renewal only arrived a few days ago why does it take so long just to change a price? :(  :(  :(

Because the renewal notices are printed upto 3 months in advance.

 

When SWMBO smasher her Peugeot up (actually just a bent bumber and headlight but due to the age of the car they wrote it off) we had a problem with the tax renewal form.

 

The tax disc expired at the end of September but we had bought the Galaxy to replace it at the begining of August.

 

I put the private plate on retention and the car (still drivable and taxed and MOTed) was left on the road awaiting the insurance company. They somehow got their paperwork in a muddle and didnt collect the car before the end of September when the tax and MOT ran out so I had to store the car in my garage.

 

The problem I had was that I couldnt declare the car as SORN because the renewal form had the Private Plate number on it but the car had been restored to its original registration some 7 or 8 weeks earlier :(

 

I also didnt have the registration document as that was somewhere in the bowels of the insurance company. I rang Swansea to explain and was told not to worry.

 

When the fine for non renewal/SORN came through I started to worry and rang up again. I had to write in enclosing copies of all the correspondence with the insurance company before they agreed it wasnt my fault. Thats when they told me that the renewal notices were printed so far in advance.

 

IF they hadnt been printed so early it would have saved me a lot of hassle :o
