Oops my flags seem to be the wrong way round.
Thanks for replys. I had heard that sombody completed all the matriculation and payment of fees etc, only to fall at the last, when an ITV was not given due to the car being RHD. Can't verify this, however.
Yes, the lights would have to be changed over and perhaps the speedometer? RHD in Spain is not ideal, particularly at carparks etc. Main reason for doing it is the price (even factoring in all associated costs) and the quality and choice of used cars in the UK compared to Spain.
Sounds like ' the man in the bar 'again !
I've done a few & the 1st part of the process is the itv/ficha tecnica. ( just over 200€) So , assuming that it's mechanically ok & you present the vehicle in the morning (except fridays as Madrid don't work in the afternoon ) you'll usually have the ficha tecnica complete with all details , except a registration number , in the afternoon.
Then it's local road tax, payable at local council, trafico ( usually miles away .In my case Murcia 80kms away ) , hacienda to find out how much/pay registration tax, then back to trafico to get the fichaa stamped with a reg number & then go & get some plates !
I'd check with a Bosch,Lucas,Magnetti-marelli dealer in the uk Or any spares shop that has parts books as to whether your vehicle requires a headlight change as many don't .
