Last I heard about this it was still being argued about and it seemed as if it might not go ahead, so I very much hope you are wrong there. I've now had my present car for almost nine years and 132,000 miles, and I've enjoyed the economy of it, so I'm hoping it will survive to the end of my driving days.
I'd like to think you're right, but as far as I know it's EU regs from 2012 but the manufacturers are all implementing from 2011.
We already have it for bikes, AFAIK it's now impossible to buy a 'mainstream' bike with a headlamp 'off' switch
Mileage? That's a bit low, isn't it? My '02 Astra diesel's up to 137K and going well
