Carbon footprint

Postby gasman1 » Thu Mar 13, 2008 11:24 am

Can anyone tell me what the emmissions should be on a 125bhp TDCI engine. I am asking because I,v just noticed on the log book that the Co are 0.240 Nox 0.630 and on my other van which is a 100bhp T280 normal turbo engine it,s Co 0.i25, and the Nox 0.735.

The log book for the 125 doesnt mention that it,s a tdci and also that it,s a 100bhp, when it,s a 125.

The reason I ask is that the road tax may/should be lower on the 125tdci as it,s supposed to have a lower carbon footprint.

The insurance companies cant even find a listing for this van and keep putting it down as a 100bhp, as it was custom built by ford for us, but it seems no one knows about it except us.

If it's a SWB then this is generally the case with insurance companies.

Thats good because mine says £125.

Better than my M8s dad, his discovery is £250, AFAIK.

The wifes car is £36 and in eighteen months acording to the budget, it,ll be free. Imagine that. Something other than fresh air is free.

It's all a load of bollox.

My object in life is to leave the largest carbon footprint as possible.

I will probably die of asbestos poisoning so my cremation will last about 3 years ;)

Yep it's all a BIG CON.

You wait and see, in years to come, people will be laughin about the so called do gooders/greenies and their bloody "carbon neutral" status.

It all makes my blood boil. Electric cars....good for environment. Where does the electricity come from to charge the things up? A power station.

More importantly, the fish in my pond who i havnt seen for months and I thought had been eaten by a heron. Well, I counted six this afternoon basking in the sunshine. :D
Far more interesting than carbon footprints!!
