James Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 I think you need those things you stick on your lights so they dip to the right rather than the left so they don't dazzle other drivers, and your GB sticker obv. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Booth Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 boder controls can be picky about it...its not a entry fail, but is nice to have it in your car if you need it!Yeah, I've heard about german borders sometimes get picky about spares on cars, like you need a full set of spare bulbs.Meh, if your driving abroad you should carry all the spares possible, obviously not over the top, but stuff like belts, bulbs, plugs, wipers.Never know what will happen.

RobinJI Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 Yeah, alot of countrys insist on a full set of spare bulbs, as well as one of those warning triangles you put out if you break down. Those are the main things i think though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
