i have a French registered Discovery with no CT i need to get it to Pontivy from Plymouth, is anybody going back with an empty trailer?happy to pay 200 euro for fuel

Have heard but want if verified that as from May 2018 all cars over the age of six years will need a CT every year.  Have been told that if you have an older car that is due for CT this year then it best to get it done before May and then the 2 year regulation will be covered for at least the next two years.  If you wait until after May then you only get one year cover.  Also have heard that the tests are going to be much more stringent so not going to be as easy to pass.   However I have tried to look at the web site and translated all on there and it is true re the more stringent regs but can't find anything about the year change for older cars.  Can anyone verify this.

Can anybody recommend a good body repair shop near 53 / 61 border (Domfront /Gorron)Need replacement wing fitted to van

I'm trying to source a pair of LHD headlamps for our Freelander Series 1 prior to registering it here. I've been told that there's a German website that supplies parts cheaper than here in France, however I've not been able to find it so far. Can anyone help - or does anyone know where I can buy some s/hand for a sensible price?

Just having a browse through Autotrader at what was available LHD and it appears that the prices are over and above the equivalent RHD vehicles. It seems a bit ludicrous, I'm told that loads of Brits are returning to the UK, so not much of a market, me thinks, for anyone coming over here, what with Brexit and the state of the exchange rate. Surely it must reflect the same way that RHD vehicles are worth substantially less over here in France??

Who would you recommend for car insurance over here, looking for fully comp policy and are there any major differences between the UK and France on policy wording ans what is covered.?

I'm about to get our car CT'd prior to re-registering it here. It was MOT'd in the UK a few months ago - are there any major differences between an MOT and a CT?  Better forewarned and forearmed!!

Does anyone know if there are still problems on the periphique from Caen to the Alencon exit. Travelling from Villaines la Juhel to Caen ferry on Friday?
