Sunday Driver: Could I ask your help as you seem very knowledgeable? I wish to take an old Land Rover Discovery (so parts will be easy to find) to the Bordeaux area for use at my French house when I am there (two months per year, approx - sometimes longer). The Discovery is surplus to my requirements in England and rather than sell it for next to nothing, I thought that I could take it to France. Do you think that it is worth it? I have been looking at your answers about re-registering and it seems quite expensive (new headlamps etc). I am not very good at buying cars and don't think that I would be up to buying a decent French car. I've had my Discovery since new and it's a good motor. The diesal engine means that it could be left without use for quite a while and still (hopefully) start. Could I have your thoughts? Cathy
