Check out the Exmoor trim mats.. they are about 30 quid each.. Iµ got them for my car and they are thick and don't look like they wear out fast.

It's not a difficult one that.. its called a 'Vanne EGR'...

I don't know, but it would probably be worth posting on one of the French 4x4 forums.. http://www.landmania.com/index.php or https://www.forum4x4.org/forum.php cheers Gareth

Yes these are on the list, but not always possible to change the bulbs without a tool kit and removing the whole optical block... Friend had her head light blow last year, impossible to change the bulb with just a Leatherman..

The fine is not implemented because is was scrapped by the French government in March 2013... So while the need to carry one was not removed from the statue books the sanction for not having one was... So as you say what's the point...

Yes????

Guess RAC is wrong.. 99.9999% of Fren,ch drivers don't have them.. In fact I've never seen them for sale in France either. I've been stopped and breathalyzed about 6 or 7 times in the last 18 months, but never has this ever come up with the gendarmes or police... As long as you are under the...

Good to know, but most of my customers don't do this, despite my telling them.

Final piece of advice, non vehicle related ... Bring your E111 (while they are still valid) and get a fully comprehensive health, breakdown and repatriation insurance. French hospitals are excellent but if you don't have the card you'll have to pay up front. I also see so many people breaking...

One thing I never see printed is that if you get pulled, even just a random road check, the first thing the gendarme asks for is your driving licence, Insurance (green card) and vehicle registration....

This new legislation is very unpopular in France and does make driving on secondary roads a real pain... you're always looking at the speedo. Until after the holidays, you'll probably get away with a warning if you're under 95km/h but after that unless it is repealed in the autumn they'll start...

Haven't ever needed breathalyzer kits in France.... was a suggestion by Sarkozy in mid 2000's that was never implemented..... Triangles are a good idea, but if you have functioning hazards that"'s all you need... Hi viz vests are obligatory.

If it's anything like here in France, it's that no one is using it any more... In the 80's they reckon one in three car in France had a CB, but it's dead as a dodo now. My car was fitted with one , as it used to belong to a Corsican guy who did guided trips of the island. I've not picked up a...

Why keep a RHD car in France... ??? I think I kept my RHD Fiat Uno for 6 months when I first moved here in 87... impractical on every level, car parks, péages, underground garages... over-taking...not to mention some specific parts hard to get over here.. Apart from being illegal isn't his...

They are no supposed to be used for changing tures and are very dangeous used in such a way.. they are a recovery device and a very good one.

It really depends on your usage.. I had AT tyres for a long time... BFG Tracedge, and All Terrains... which are/were very good tyres. But if like me you go, (even once or twice a year), into a muddy or slippery place.. (River fishing in my case) then AT's will be very quickly inadequate... It...

Reims, northern France

Hi there, I've you speak spanish, or can get this translated they do parts for Santana's and I can see a 6 cylinder on the list of engines... http://www.rec4x4.com/spa/item/ART00200.html cheers Gareth

I had a set of Insa Turbo Rangers fitted to a Nissan Terrano.. Worst tyres I've ever fitted... Impossible to balance (two fitting centres tried). Fitted Hankook RT03s after which were brilliant. Difference in price now between new and remolds not big enough IMHO to justify buying what is nearly...
