For those of us who have to take the plunge and change car a little guidance from the powers that be would be nice. Are they gonna ban diesel cars. Are they gonna ban petrol cars?  If so, when? How long of a transition period will we get? My next car will be for 5 years so a little guidance would be good from our masters.  For those that just bought a new car or signed a hp agreement,  .

Horse ...as yu can see from the frustration of posters here wen trying to deal wit the authorities
.....yu kinda have yo work it out for yurself .......
But if I can offer my 2 cents .......ide at least go hybred , preferably electric  ....
I don't understand anyone buying a diesel unless yu pay 2000 for it an can giv it to the knackers at the drop of a hat .....

I just don't trust hybrid cars yet with their poxy battery that goes dead. Me mate had to get jumped already a few times coz his prius is lying up. Id prefer an automatic diesel or petrol for now. Somehow id feel a tad more comfortable running low on juice in the middle of nowhere than a prius.

You do know if you were stupid enough to run low on juice in the middle of anywhere....the Prius battery would get you further!!

[Horse]

Maybe that was worded wrong. Id trust a conventional car over a hybrid if I knew there was a bit of a risk involved, like possible breakdowns or so. I just see hybrids and the like as the Fisher price of engines as far as reliability is concerned.  Maybe they need to be around and refined a bit more. Can't see battery trucks coming in any time soon, lugging heavy loads for miles. I need a bit more convincing.

Yea I discovered the prius 12 v battery weakness for meself last week wen it wouldnt start again an the  2 yer old battery
Was fuked ..........and a big disappointment....
But compared to flywheel and timing chain costs on a diesel
Its livable .......the big battery failing is a different matter tho ....I've yet to experience that and no doubt I'll be unhappy but
Yu have to factor in the changing times ....and if freenow are offering a electric option ........its really another  example of trend an change ...eamon ryan and his ilk cud very well exclude diesels in the near future so investing in a diesel  car over a ten yer period say ....wud be a huge gamble in me humble opinion

Thats why I'm wondering whats going on with the ban this and ban that brigade. I'll have to do a bit of research before any investments in this game thats fcuked by the looks of it.

[Shallowhal]

The Prius has been around since 1997 Horse,i've been driving them since 2006.

[Horse]

Fair enough hal. I'm kinda one of them blokes that's stuck in his ways, hard to change.  As I said a bit of research is in order, both on the incoming laws in this crazy land and the different technology that is a hybrid.  Just wondering though,  how long before we all have to be fully electric and will that technology arrive in my working lifetime.

       To all the diesel dinosaurs  have you not learn from the Germans   Cover up
        Diesel is dead.   It hybrid or lpg  and then petrol low  repair bills and good fuel economy
        And fu-k  FN. go local bring it back to your local cab company........

I was the same horse but i was always a bit of an (as my missus calls me) eco geeko....when the 2nd gen Prius came out in 2004,the salesman in the local Toyota dealer threw the keys at me one day to the demo he was driving,i was sold after the test drive and decided i'd get one in 06,never had a days problem with it,i was sorry i changed it for a 2011(in 2015)..i wouldn't have had to change it till next year(15 yr rule) had i kept it.
