V8 Landy ULEZ compliant?
Hi all, been looking at something to replace my 2003 Shogun which looks like it’s developed serious fueling issues… and I’ve always wanted a V8 Landy…

Does anyone know if the V8 are ULEZ exempt? My Shogun is petrol and surprisingly is… and I’ve read in the disco forum that all V8 Discos are also exempt?

Would appreciate any feedback,

Br,
Mazza

My factory 3.5 v8 110 CSW shows as non compliant on the ULEZ checker.

I think that any factory V8 that had the emissions section properly filled in on the V5 isn't going to be compliant - I don't think they came with cats from the factory as standard (unless it's one of the special editions that has EFI)..

Many thanks for the feedback… out of interest what year is yours? And how do you find the V8 in terms of reliability?

It's a J reg - so 1992ish.

It's been very reliable - I've owned it close to 10 years and I don't think it's ever let me down. If the v8s are looked after they can be pretty reliable - in factory form they are fairly simple and there's not a lot to go wrong!

That said - the 3.5 is pretty underpowered, especially in a 110. Quite a lot of them have been converted to EFI (megasquirt etc) which frees up some power, but we dropped a 4.6 into mine which transformed it...

It will actually be up for sale soon, there will be an ad on here at some point soon when I get round to cleaning it and taking some pictures!

If the car is over 40 years old it becomes ULEZ Exempt regardless of emissions

https://www.shropshirestar.com/news/motors...-v8-model/

Taking advantage of the rule that classic cars over 40 years old are exempt from the daily charge – the ULEZ Reborn series can be specified with either a 4.0- or 4.6-litre V8 engine linked with a modern ZF automatic gearbox. Craig.
