So in that respect the emissions are vehicle specific. Reading TFL’s note seems to suggest that whatever paperwork you sent them is missing the VIN to link the stated NOx to your actual car. The whole thing is bit strange. My 02 S is now exempt from ULEZ, having been exempt, then non exempt! Maybe it’s the 18” wheels fitted at the factory lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found a page on there webste claiming "We don't refund daily charges or charges for dates in the past." To date I have been paying daily. I had to get them to confirm that over a chat... they said yes they would refund my daily charges. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other items like climate control/AirCon, body kits (that’s probably about it for a Boxster) will also impact emissions figures. I know this from my company car days. The Benefit on Kind rate for the same engined and bodied model will be different based on wheel choices etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know this from my company car days. The Benefit on Kind rate for the same engined and bodied model will be different based on wheel choices etc. When I spoke to a TfL rep yesterday she said that the reason why some cars dont fall into the exempt catagory is because they own private plates. She might have a point but I was'nt entirely convinced. I've been around the houses with quite a few reps over the last few weeks and have learned that the level of fragmentation and disparity of knowledge between the various different departements is staggering. One even attempted to charge me £10 to get the process of refunding under way. It's clear that the 'Back Office' as it's known is where all the decisions are made but the unfortuntly you cannot speak with anyone in that department directly.

Menoporsche Posted November 4, 2021 Report Share Posted November 4, 2021 YES! BoXa strikes again! suggest you start a new thread in Running Reports or Members Rides, title something like “SilverBud’s 986” and say a bit about you/ your car. And pics are welcome. If you don’t mind meeting like-minded weirdos, put your approximate location in there and see if you get prodded to join some early breakfasts.

Today (and yesterday) I attempted to file the refund using the advised page to upload ticket information. Even that was down 🤣 I've raised a manual ticket to reclaim the payments though whcih they assure will be with me in the next 5-10 wiorking days lol.
