Travel in Europe

[size=38]How difficult is it touring Europe nowadays due to the various emission restrictions. Ours being diesel 2003 ?[/size]

Ours is E3 so all LEZ are no good.
Not an issue as we have a policy of avoiding anywhere with an LEZ so don't either visit or spend money there.
In reality, and we are in EU right now, it's not, yet, really an issue.
Our sat Nav is set to avoid environmental zones.
We travel 3 x 3 weeks a year in the van, all in Europe. May was Eire, now in Germany having been to Norway and Denmark, Holland tomorrow. September is Spain/ France.

Don't let it bother you. One tip though, get the appropriate stickers for your windscreen. Crit air for France, another, can't remember it's name. For Germany

Out of curiosity, why get those stickers if you avoid all LEZs?

Ps. I have both CritAir and German. But that’s just in case…..  cheap and v easy to obtain.

Good question!

I think I read somewhere you have to have them if you enter an LEZ outside it's active hours, not all are 24 hrs enforced ( this is from a poor memory baseline!!)

Like you I got them just in case as they were cheap and otherwise harmless!!

Bit like headlight beam deflector if you never drive in the dark!!

Btw, ever seen a foreign vehicle on a ferry heading to UK with them on, I digress!!

Hope your trip going well Gareth.

These sites may help in France possibly your first stop.

Isn't that what the yellow cellophane wrapper on Lucozade bottles was for?
