    Just looked and its because i have autos. The manual v50t5 is band K, but the auto is L. It gets into the higher rate by 1g of co2!

    Yep, that 1g of co2 adds another £200.

    and checking again, its in the same class as the 550! Yep an 1800kg car with a 4.8V8 is the same to tax a year as an auto v50t5 lol

    Just a caution there have been a stint of car thefts involving ford cars mainly focus st's with push to start buttons apparently there's a security flaw that when you connect a device into the odb2 port you can start it without the keys, just put a steering lock on to deter would be thiefs.
