I have a friend who has just realised that by living inside the London LEZ she will have to comply with the regs by the end of this year.
The confusion has come about because she thought that her Mercedes Sprinter 316 CDI was Euro 4 but we now think that it's a Euro 3 engine.
She doesn't want to sell the van or the house (ie move outside the area) so is planning on fitting whatever is required to make her van compliant. One quote is over £4,750k plus VAT.
Has anyone had their van converted to comply with the LEZ? What did you have done and how much did it costs?
When someone lives in London that is not an option they have to go into the Zone.
The conversion kits are done by the Base manufacturer so ask Mercedes but Fiat told us to dump the engine--ye right!!!
The answers are
Replace your vehicle
Use a newer vehicle which meets the LEZ emissions standards.
Fit abatement equipment
It may be possible to fit pollution abatement equipment. All modifications will need to be certified by the Vehicle and Operator Services Agency (VOSA) or an equivalent authorised body if your vehicle is registered outside of Great Britain for more information visit the TfL website.
Re-engine your vehicle
You may choose to replace the engine in your vehicle with a more recent model. If you re-engine your vehicle you need to register with Transport for London.
BUT is this the best idea------Convert to gas You may choose to convert your vehicle to run on pure gas using an approved conversion. For GB operators, pure gas conversions should be registered with the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) and must be certified by the Vehicle and Operator Services Agency (VOSA).
It should be noted that vehicles with conversion to other fuels or that run on bio diesel are not deemed to meet the required LEZ emissions standards.
À tous mes amis du forum thankyou pour toutes vos pensées agréables et avec son amour derrière moi je lutterai contre mon conflit avec un esprit de postive et le triomphe
can any one clarrify the part about running on bio diesel or converting to bio who do you have to inform or register with because surely this would be the cheapest and best rout to go down especially if this is eurpean wide
Im reading through lots of sites and I dont think bio fuel is complient
it does say It should be noted that vehicles with conversion to other fuels or that run on bio diesel are not deemed to meet the required LEZ emissions standards.
Anyway you register with the DVLA or VOSA

If it's a diesel I don't think it could be converted to run just on gas.
And so far as I know any petrol engine of any size regardless of the amount of muck it pumps out is compliant so would not need to be converted to gas anyway.
I think the usual way to make a vehicle compliant is to fit a particulate filter.
But have you tried the compliance checker to see what that says?

Has anyone any idea what the score is with foreign registered vans? We move to France this summer and are still debating exactly what to do with our 03 van which is currently compliant but won't be under GB rules next year. What happens if it is foreign registered?
