Thanks for the help so far! IJ, I meant using a hire car picked up abroad, rather than taking a UK car to the continent! I think that would be a no-brainer financially! That said there are certainly places that the hirers don't want you to take a hire car - Italy is a no-no for any worthwhile car, presumably beacause of the theft risk.

Local papers here in Spain are reporting that hire companies are not putting reflective waistcoats, bulbs, etc. in their cars because they are stolen. When queried by hirers regarding said items, they state: If stopped by police and fined, pay up and we will refund! No evidence this works. Good luck.

Bazza, just park the beasty up against a garage door (in the dark), turn the headlights on and using your fingers moving from the pass side headlight towards the middle of the car (ie across the pass headlight), and you should see where the best place is to block the offending light. Then stick a piece of tape (or whatever) where this is. Its not an exact science! Ive just got back from Normandy in the GTA and performed this task in an Autoroute service area, and was fine!
