Hi..
I think the procedure is wait for the quote, then I turn it down.
Then get the truck back to UK.
So frustrating as I have to come back for the boat and it's so complicated to get here right now. You won't believe the hoops I had to jump through!
I have even been considering buying a 4x4 locally and pulling the boat back that way but wow, the second hand market is a lot different to UK!
Really?Not only that, but Iirc it is illegal for a UK citizen to drive a non UK regd foreign plated car in the UK?

Oops then when I can home for xmas in my Renault 6, back in 1978, I broke de lor!
And a burd I know who drove an Italian reg Mercedes for years over here, broke the law too.
well actually she must have.
But seriously it is quite complex and you need a residential address of some sort in France to reg it in your name.
Plus they are all overpriced to feck.
+1 to all those who said just get the whole kit and caboodle towed over here, and no idea why they shouldn't bring the boat over too.
Read the small print in the recovery paperwork.
Otherwise try to find a secondhand box.
Imagine it is a caravan. I don't think they can force you to leave it there.
Best of luck, what a nightmare.![]()
You are a cheeky fecker!Yes really, its not 1978 anymore you know
Have a google.
I used to know a interesting guy who drove an italian regd car many years ago, he said it was great as you could literally park it anywhere and you never got a ticket!
Don't cross your bridges till you come to them.Hi All...
I will take a taxi down to the garage in the morning and find out what exactly the problem is. The woman on the phone mentioned gearbox and clutch.. Maybe they mean Torque Converter? Surely if the box was gone i would get slippage? I had no slipping & forward reverse no problems.. If it turns out to be the TC. Can that be changed or is it part of the gearbox?
Thanks!
