Road Tax question

daveronimo · 18-09-10, 03:15 PM

I'm sure I read somewhere that road tax is going up for my 2004 zs 180 soon.
Can someone tell me where to find info about this please?
Particular interest is how much it's going to cost me and when the rise is happening.

Cheers guys

(ps. new pads and disks on the rear yesterday, what a mess the old ones were in - corroded and worn unevenly...)

ouch! I think it might be time for a change if that's the case! It's a shame I've spent so much on it - front and rear disks and pads, cambelt change/service.

lol yea problem is everyone has the same idea... seems there are more each week.
I know what you mean though its at the point where I have spent ?1600 on it in 6 months and I still love it but it just doesn't stop the thoughts of.. If I sell it now its still sort of worth something lol. But Im gonna stick to my guns I think and think of it this way.... its ?36 a month.. and its the only to think of it because to find anything close in age and pace and not a million miles on the clock for the ?2k I might get is gonna be hard..
