Driving in spain - Page 5

Not in the sense of moving the steering wheel to the L/H side no.  Check to see if your car has KPH as well as MPH, if yes that doesn't need changing.  Headlights likely yes for L/H drive ones.  If car has a tow bar, remove it as unless is an original main dealer one for that model with a label on it then it will fail matriculation.  Same with things like non standard bull bars.  All tyres on same axle must be same type/make.

No will be still rhd if that's what you have. 

Only light and speedo showing kmh

All very confusing. I have bought a peugeot 308cc so need to check

You will also need a "certificate of conformity" from Peugeot, a main dealer should be able to sort that for you sometimes free or for a few quid or contact Peugeot UK directly as I did with Mazda. Explain you are going to export car to Spain and need the certificate.

It's a common process over here, there are many abagados that will sort it all out for you if you can present the relevant vehicle documents, your NIE, padron etc... My car was a rather unusual one not common in Spain so none of the very many scrap yards here had parts for my car hence sourcing lights before I moved.  Overall cost to matriculate mine was about 1000 euros.  I will probably have to buy a cheap car this year as mine has a few issues now although has got through 6 ITV's without trouble.  I have a limited budget of 1500 max for another vehicles but there are always cars in my area for that or less.  Being a Peugeot you may find headlamps out here at a scrapyard.  A local Spanish garage will probably source a pair for you.

Hi and thank you such a mindfieldcas seems daft you can drive around for 90 days in your car from uk without being modified bit as soon as become resident you have to modify it!!!

Difficult decisions as i will be selling my home to buy a property in spain&to have funds left to live off as i want a healthier, stress free life as thevUK  is "rip of britain"😭

I understand. 

Residency isn't straight forward anymore as you have to prove your income every year where they just gave you 5 years they check every year

Health insurance now is approx 3k each year and you can't work for 5 years. 

They only give you a visa now for certain amount of time. And that you have to get in UK spanish embassy before you come to Spain. 

Im in process of getting my Irish Passport
