Sadly no. You'll still be caught out on the old rate as the vehicle itself is registered Pre 2008

nope.. all down to the year of the car

Nothing to do with engine age, only car regestration.

It was to encourage people to buy new diesels along with the scrappage scheme, as soon as it suits the government they will revert to the old cc system and make a mint off of all the new 2 litre diesels on the road

I would highly doubt they would change back to the old system. More like just increase the current bands of tax year on year.
