Hey All,

this may seem like a stupid question but is the Car Tax for the 2007 TDV8 really £600 per year? It feels astronomical for a diesel of such an age even if it is a V8. Its not an error of some kind on my reminder?

Scratch that - it changed with the budget, £630 now

Welcome to the world of range rover ownership

My first year over here was 915e 😳

Now a more sensible 473e 😎

The £350 over the pre 2006 rates is the equivalent of less than three tanks of fuel over the course of the whole year....is what I tell myself anyway

It’s like anything else in life. If you like it you will pay for it.

Ah well, it's only money.

Mines due at end of month I have two to tax and another 3 cars

I taxed my 2011 4.4 TDV8 it was £615 yesterday but i just tell myself is £12 a week

On the bright side just did my sons insurance and it had come down 600 quid to 2300 so my road tax was free

Don't complain, in Holland it is €3460,- a year for a diesel !!!!

Was running on fumes today, took 93L or 20.4 gallons, to brim. Jings. Proceeding 200 mile run up the A9 and back. Tried to keep cruise at 1450rpm, +-50mph saw best average of 40.5 mpg on the way back, with good use of a heavy giving tow. 210 miles from just over a quarter of a tank range showing potential 500+ mile range remaining. Probably 35mpg actual. 700+ mile tank range, with luck. Can't ask much more from the truck really. #Econowagen.

My VED is in the post.
