Yes they love to rip the British public off same motor & engine but because of the date it was sold they can somehow justify the extra money:doh yet you can have a proven dirty VW & aren't going to up the tax on them which is so unfair. TBH most 4x4's now made after 2006 your going to be stung with £505 a year tax:doh

To be honest I wouldn't have bought it if it had been £500+ a year as thats not justifiable, not saying id never pay it as one day ill have to but it is a hell of a lot of money

Road tax is a complete rip off, They did away with it in France 20 years ago. The peasants revolted (as they do ) and said "this road tax was meant to pay for the building of roads after the war, years ago,hardly any new roads are being built now and those that are are mostly payed for by the EEC. So we don't want to pay it any more!" So the abolished it and put a small tax on insurance,just to get a bit back!. I cant see that happening in the UK tough.:doh

I wouldn't begrudge paying it if they actually spent the money on the roads as they are getting terrible now, what I think they need to do is start taxing the big companies properly, reduce fuel duty so people got more money to spend on other things, (grey area for most) legalize canabis and tax it, the amount of people who smoke it they would make a fortune in taxes but as I say its a grey area
