Of course not. its only really an issue in uber lean burn eco engines.

Now There are 10+ million
diesel engined cars on the road and the vast majority are not EU6
compliant. There needs a massive cull of older diesel clunkers.

No,m the older clinker are fine. Its the eco clunkers that cause the crap

It's really odd, because until only a handful of years ago, the
government was doing all it could to encourage buyers to buy diesel.

Of course. the manufacturers wanted to sell new cars so diesel was
lobbied for. Then when everyone had one, they legislated to not have them!

Simples!

Nothing to do with pollution. Everything to do with profit.

contemplate a rollback of the industrial age.
