I mentioned this a few weeks ago when I check out the insurance situation for taking people to the Irish Republic.

full breakdown £90

youd think a car built across the EU, being nearer the factory when away and having Skoda warrant and breakdown cover wouldnt need anything else

theres only ONE Skoda dealer in Spain...

The SEAT dealers will cover them, if there's still an EU by then.

Don't need to do anything to the car leave everything on it, Iv been to the south of France and Gibraltar, with plates and sign on
You may want to flat line your headlights though, there is a small lever inside the back you can do that with.
As for insurance you should be covered for 30 days a year, I am, just in case I get a job going over

No, its signage and punters who spoil it

plus cruising the UK highways in a large white new estate car at a steady 69mph (where legal) has a strange effect on the rest.....pmsl
