Think that's the same as mine, is it not recorded as part of the eSVA test?

Under the bonnet it says .5kg which is 500g so id say 325 was an improvement

Messrs Brown & Darling would have us believe that your 'gas guzzling' Subaru is doing more harm though

All part and parcel of running a Scoob I guess. Stupid fuel bills, stupid road tax fees.......oh and stupid speeds.

If your car was registered after March 2006 then your tax rate is based on emissions and not engine size. I have a MY98 Type R... COMPLETELY STANDARD and I registered in 2007, so my tax at the moment is £300 a year!!!

£300 a year on a 10 year old classic I guess your in a bit of a predicament though as you will never be able to sell it being in that tax band so i hope you plan on keeping it forever
