Thought to start this topic and see what not so known things are required while travelling throu different countries. First thought only about Europe
If you are wearing glasses you are required to have a spare pair in Spain FREELANDER 2 TD4 SE (XS UK) IZMIR BLUE SIDE STEPS COLD PACK BI-XENON TINTED WINDOWS - AND PROUD OF HER

France no radar speed gun detectors allowed, The French police confiscate them and fine you. I think front fog lights are not allowed in France , If you car has them already thats ok but do not use them At work
At home

For most of Europe you also have to carry a set of spare lamps for all of your lights and a red hazard warning triangle How can carbon have a footprint, it has no feet?

And a First Aid kit. - Mike

For Norway and I think Sweden:
Fluorescent yellow (or orange) coloured reflection vest: At least one for the driver (and I think one also for the passenger as well?), that must be carried in the front of the car and easily accessible in case of an accident. This/these has/have to be worn when you get out of the car in an emergency.

Cyclists are also advised to wear these when cycling on busy roads – Cheap to buy at filling stations & car accessory shops.

All cars must carry the red hazard warning triangle and all new cars are issued with a safty first kit  2007 Freelander 2 HSE TD4 Manual with Premium Pack & Moonroof.

Matei, the LR Xenons are guaranteed for 10,000 times switching on,or ten years - cannot remember which now. I had a lamp go on my FFRR and the dealer replaced under warranty and told me that it would be sent back to LR as they would then claim off the makers. The car was only 2 years old How can carbon have a footprint, it has no feet?

Remember to pack your snow chains if you are going to Austria and some parts of south Germany................. with all this global warming caused directly by Land Rover owners driving their cars you may just need them in midsummer  How can carbon have a footprint, it has no feet?

When in France and in the outside/fast lane you must keep your indicator on to show people your overtaking

It's what the people a porsche was doing to me in the when i was there a couple of years ago

I thought doing 135mph was fast enough (read my car would go any faster )and stayed there until it was clear to pull back in without having to slow down, and he still went past me like i was stood still

I always wanted a Carrera 4s since then  Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

What were you driving ? Chipped LR?
Guess fuel was way cheaper.
ost I went was 180 Km/hour in Germany in a Peugeot 407 and that was while my radar device (wife) was sleeping. I am only allowed speads up to 130/140 Km /hours. Wish my car had a milles based speadometer.
