    Actually, I'm surprised that the proportion attributed to motor vehicles is not higher than that, although the error bars on that figure could be interesting, as could the variability of the levels.

    I cannot answer 1 and 2. However it is an underestimate as it is based in national pollutant inventory data, so suffers similar problems to the EU modelling i mentioned earlier. As for health effects, levels in brisbane are similar to the scandinavian study i posted a couple of pages back.

    I wouldn't worry about your defender Mick,it's your Mazda you should be concerned about,in real world driving tests they pumped out more pollutants than any other make,10 times what VW produced. Pat

    I wouldn't mind as would many others if you posted up actual facts about this subject,going by some of the replies to this thread many people are getting caught by misinformation or are simply getting the interpretation wrong,we would appreciate it. Pat

    What in particular Pat?

    As I said to all the journalists, the irony is that VW have just been doing what all the aftermarket tuning companies have been doing...
    So you are right - anyone with a "chipped" engine cannot be critical of VW...

    Anything you think is relevant,I'd like to hear your opinion on how you would lower NOx emissions.What we have now,EGR's,DPF,urea etc to me are just solutions to a problem that create more problems,band aids. Pat
