    How did the emission results have any impact on your choice? Fuel economy was exactly the same as stated.
    Remember the saying: if it looks too good to be true it almost certainly is.

    Cos when people see £££ waved in front of them common sense goes out of the window - @bigdaydreams what were the NOx levels on the car on which you based you purchase decision ?

    What were the official NOx emissions of the car you leased? What were it's actual emissions? Were they definitely different?
    If you don't know, what are you claiming for exactly?
  • Bigday is looking for a big payday. 

    Deep down, they know they’re getting zilch out of this.

    The point you're missing is, compo is only justified in situations where you have suffered financial loss.  Break your leg due to the scaffolding at work not being rigged properly, you can't work for 6 months, you don't get paid - legitimate case for compo.  Someone runs over you on a zebra crossing, you're paralysed for life and need round-the-clock nursing care - legitimate case for compo.  You've heard some vague stuff about a new scandal - nope, sorry.
    If you can quantify your financial loss then please go ahead and submit a claim.
