63 plate VW Golf 2.0 TDI, 20,000 miles, silver. £2.50 ONO.

I'll take it. Whatever happens, the politicians aren't going to order the sudden scrapping of millions of cars at their owners' expense. Too many votes at stake. If the manufacturers can fix the problem they'll be ordered to do that. If they can't retro-fix the cars, they'll be given special license for the next ten years, apart from in large city centres where the pollution issue is most serious. There may well be an auto-industry (or offending-company) scrappage scheme meaning your VW may become the cheapest way to obtain a new car.

This fiasco might be the best thing one could imagine for the future of e-cars. Anyone thinking, buy Tesla shares?
