There won't be any official CO2 measurements for the 300Tdi, as this wasn't part of Type Approval when the vehicle was built. This also means that the vehicle WON'T be subject to the new £400 tax bracket, because that is only for cars in 'Band G' on the basis of CO2 output- pre-2001 vehicles were never measured for CO2, therefore can't be taxed on it- they just pay the standard £175 Road Fund License fee.
A pretty good reason never to buy a modern Land Rover.
