Does any one know the coverage in the Limousin area ? My location come up as n 45`39.454 e 1`40.687 on the sat nav. I can see a transmitter mast about 5 mile away , but do not know what it is for.

I applied to the Limoges  Drire office and they have returned my paperwork along with this list which appears to be the latest list of paperwork they now require.

Just been looking at the French merc site they will do a coc for less than the UK office , but for UK cars they want proof re the headlamps and the speedo , not to sure as my French is not good and putting the site through a translator came out with some odd words. http://www.mercedes-benz.fr/content/france/mpc/mpc_france_website/fr/home_mpc/passengercars/home/services_accessories/homologation/Importation_vehicule_d_occasion.html

Now this is getting interesting , we have always had cheap cars but now as we are getting older I have just got an SLK  (7 yr old ) as a final treat our other is a KA.

I had read the link price , but as this was about the same price I paid two years ago for a previous car I thought the price must have gone up by now .[:-))] edit , in fact the form is dated 2005

Does anyone know the latest fee for a coc from Drire ? I have the link to print off the application form. I tried Mercedes UK and they wanted £105 . Has no one found a site to print out a coc yet , after all it is only one A4 sheet ? (wishfull thinking [;-)]).

wooly are you really married to her who wears the tabard ?

Brilliant as always SD [:)] I thought I would find the answer myself by looking through previous posting , but you come up with a great site , thank you.

I have been looking up previous postings on this subject , it has been well covered. I have just found this car selling site and a lot of the cars listed have their cv value. It may be useful to others as a guide. http://www.annonces-automobile.com/

I can now answer my own question , no not all Mercedes have headlamps with a lever for RHD/LHD.

Well I have done a deal , contacted a few dealers most said go away but a few said yes. They all only offer "Glasses guide price".So I am now back in France with a UK car to register again , thankfully this time I know the ropes thanks to SD. And a plus my French insurance said no increase for a higher group car ....UK insurance would want lots more dosh .[:)]

Arrived at Boulogne this morning for a Speedferries crossing to be told canceled due to fisher men.So drove up to the tunnel and paid my £145.00 along with a lot others. Speedferries had sent me an email yesterday , but I have been out of reach until now. [:P] Just read another email from them , they are going to give me a return ticket valid for 12 months for the inconvenience as well as honoring the ticket I did not use today (not bad it was only a £10 one way ticket ) and it was not their fault .[:)]

[quote user="LEO"]At the back of the headlamp on a Mercedes there is a lever/switch for RHD or LHD .Takes two minutes to excecute the change[/quote] Does this apply to all Mercedes ? I am thinking of getting an SLK.

Is it time to move my money ? Is anywhere safe ?
