Does anyone know the real truth here?

I have an english right hand drive van that I want to change onto spanish plates. I am getting conflicting reports from people. One says you cant changes it over because they wont ITV it due to restrcted vision on the left side. Then someone else said, if you put a window in the left side of the van that gets round that and they will then ITV it and you can then register it in spain. Then someone said I need a homologation certificate etc etc.

I want to be legal with the vehicle but dont seem to be able to get a sensible decision. I dont need hearsay, I need the correct answer. Can I do it or not?

 Rob. Do not enter when they are out and change the locks. I was in that situation a year ago and my solicitor told me it was an imprisonable offence!!! I said what to enter my own house??? yes its classed as breaking and entering. Luckily in my case they left of their own accord, leavng the place like a squat. You have been given advice to just let it go the time and hope that the contract is no longer than an11 month one or the renters rights change completely in their favour. My advice for what its worth, dont fall out with anyone over this. Find out how long the contract is for, if its less than 11 months, heave a sigh of relief and go with it. If you upset the tennants they have the capability of trashing the place and dissapearing into thin air. Been there done that!!! it can take up to three years to get a court order of eviction if the tennants dispute your statement. one of our friends was in that situation and the tennant was a spanish councillor and he knew the ropes, it took 3 years and a lot of money to get him out. Sit tight and wait!!!regards Trish

 jamie.

Good advice re the credibility, there are loads of people that can install but when they go wrong due to an incompetent install they havent got a clue what to do.

Re your mention of 10 years without a service. I take it that you dont mean that literally!!! By now the condensors on the outside units and the air filters on the ahus would be clogged solid and costing a fortune to run.
