We are thinking to move to Dubai for a couple of years for a change. We don't intend to rent the house or sell the Merc until we know what we are doing long term but as I don't have a garage I don't know what to do with the car.
I really don't want to sell it but I can't just leave it outside...

We have a car in Italy which we have just taken ownership of.
We are having difficulties getting it insured in Italy because the local insurance companies do not recognise my wife's UK NCD, thus quoting for new driver's prices which are very high.
Any idea if there is a UK insurer who will...

The problem is obvious, I have to pull out...
Had my phone (iPhone 4s) stolen yesterday on a short European trip.
The phone was stolen when I was in Hungary and it was quite a challenge indeed to get a police report. Anyway I persisted and have a crime report/reference number after wasting many hours.

Does anyone have experience of registering cars from abroad?
I suspect that if the car arrives complete it's not too difficult, probably no more so than re-registering the one I bought that had been declared scrapped...but what if it arrives with no engine?
I have a facelift E series on order. It will have the new standard fit partial LED headlamps.

Does anyone know what's the...

Just a quick heads up for anyone, like me, who hadn't noticed that ECP now ship abroad. Car parts in Spain are eye wateringly expensive, just saved myself 100E on a MAF.:bannana::bannana: Regards, Jeff.

Hi all,
I am on the hunt to locate some suspension components and was wondering how confident the panel would be in purchasing parts from abroad, which are all genuine and have the same part numbers. I would like to point out, when I say abroad it excludes Germany.

Hello
I am taking the car to France next week and can't figure out how to set the satnav up for for addresses on the continent. Does it automatically change to a European map when I cross the channel or should I do something first of all?
Cheers.

I have heard that there is a switch/lever to modify the headlamp beam for driving abroad and I am hoping that someone can help. I am going to France shortly and hoping I can avoid using those stickon beam modifiers.
