Thanks for the responses. Very helpful. I better peal off the UJ on the roofbox and keep the saltire on!

I have driven in a lot of European countries but always hire cars through work. So never really needed to think of anything else. Pick up car, drop off car and that's it. This is my first trip abroad taking my own motor. I know about the French authorities can be rather zealous with foreign motors, especially British ones.

On another note, I have made sure my car insurance for my recent Volvo purchase has european cover. Next on my list is European breakdown cover. Was looking at the AA for that? Anyone had experience with them on a foreign trip?

Edit to add. Sailing from Plymouth to Roscoff.


Thanks
