Hi Everyone,

Much appreciate all your comments, and have decided to purchase a new vehicle from a reputable dealer i made the decision because of the costs involved in the conversion of the vehicle £1500.00 just for the headlight conversion much as i love my showgun this is just too much.

There is also the latest problem of british cars being targeted by thieves following you to your address and cassing your premises with intent to rob....

Has anyone heard of this ? On a trip last month to Alicante, we rented a car from the airport, was offered a upgrade to a larger vehicle, which we agree to... drove to El Campello parked in the car park next to the Marina went into Marias for some lunch half an hour later returned to the car to find we had been robbed laptop and cash. The police said it was a set up job as the car was unlocked not broken into beware of the hire car scam......

This is now the third time in 5 years i have been robbed in Spain and still come back for more

Hi All,

Thanks for all your comments looks like things never get any easier there, we now feel that it may be easier to buy a vehicle with spanish plates, headlights in the right place, and anything else that they require.

Unless anyone knows different !!!!

Can anyone reccomend a good used car dealer ?

Best

Hi all,

I would like to hear from anyone out there on the new laws, and what we have to do to comply with them. We are coming back to Spain this year to live, and have heard that there is a tax on Uk Reg cars that needs to be paid.

Anyone know how this works.
