I would suggest a good first aid kit, breathalyser (legal requirement) spare bulbs and leave the boot as empty as possible to get all that cheap wine in! MY2014 SD4 XS

Breathalyser is not a legal requirement now - they've dropped it. Well, not dropped it but they are no longer fining you for not carrying one. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/motoring/road-s...opped.html Past: FL2 TD4 HSE Auto

Pop into a tourist office and pick up a local parking disc blue, it allows you to park for free in blue zones.

You need a hi-vis jacket for every passenger which you need to be able to put on before getting out of the car. The breathalisers have an expiry date so watch what you buy if you do get a pack. The rule was that you had to have at least one so that meant carrying two so that if the police made you use one you still had one GONE - '07 TD4 GS manual Zermatt Silver LONG GONE - '55 Norton Dominator 99 SS cafe racer |

The article above mentioned a GB sticker, what's wrong with the Euro plates?, do the Frogs put an F sticker on their cars when they come to the UK? I don't think so, then F off. FL2 SD4 Metropolis Auto Santorini Black / ivory completely stock.

If your plates carry a country identification on the left then you don't need a separate country identifier, for the UK it is GB for the Channel Island I believe it is GBJ/G/A. fGBM for IOM any other UK country it is still GB, ECOSSE and CYMRU are not legal. my PC is slightly to the right of Genghis
