Hi. Does anyone have a current email address for accounts at Enel please? They've sent me a cheque for a refund, whilst leaving a bill unpaid - why didn't they just credit my account...?!! TIA.

Hi! Does anyone know where drinks cartons (fruit juice, milk, wine, etc.) can be recycled, particularly in the Lucca/Bagni di Lucca area? Back in the UK, they can't (I think) be recycled in Norfolk, but can in Essex, so it seems to vary from cou

AndyT's posts all disappeared on about the 26th January (I posted about it at the time). I assume he deleted them...?
I didn't think that a green card was required within the EU? Rachel68, do you require more than just third party insurance? If so, I think LV offer 6 months of 'full' policy cover. As I stated previously, it's my belief that all insurers have to offer the minimum cover required throughout the EU - i.e.: 12 months of third party cover (although his may possibly be effected by the local requirement to import the car after 6 months - I'm not sure).
I wouldn't necessary agree with all of what has been posted above regarding small gas cyclinders/bottles. It really depends upon your usage and location. I forget what we paid for our bottle, but I do know that we are still using our first one after a couple of years of 'holiday home' cooking use! The bottle was less than we expected in comparision to the UK (we have previous experience of buying gas for a boat), as there doesn't appear to be any deposit payable on the bottle in Italy. If you don't have sufficient garden space, or if you simply don't wish to get involved with red tape and contracts, AND if your usage is going to be low, then I would seriously consider going down this route. There are some safety aspects that you need to be aware of (but isn't this the case with all gas usage?) but, judging by the number of bottles left out in our village when the gas man's due (he comes with a truck and just swaps the empties for fulls), bottled gas is still a very popular option in some locations. We only have gas rings (our oven is electric) and our only outside space is a stone terrace, and so this option works well for us. Our Italian neighbours live in their house full time, have two children, and also use a gas water heater in the summer, and they use bottled too - and they are very frugal and have a garden.
Yes, I agree, and I probably know the same cars!
Hi. Sorry, I'm not looking to buy (I'm trying to sell as well, actually!) but an indication as to price might help to encourage interest...
(Edited as I found a better link) No, sorry, I meant this, taken from http://italy.angloinfo.com/transport/vehicle-ownership/importing-a-car/: The car must be registered in Italy with the local Motorizzazione Civile office within six months of its arrival in the country, as well as the Public Vehicle Registry (Pubblico Registro Automobilistico). I've always understood that this means that you should commence importation of the car on or before the expiry of 180 days, but mayby this only applies if you're an Italian resident?
What happened to AndyT's posts???!!!
Thanks Flip.
Hi. Was your comment about 'new cracks to fill' serious Flip? Our house is in Benabbio. I'm a bit worried now... Hope everyone is okay, and that there are no further aftershocks.
There is the 180 days before a vehicle should legal be imported in Italy, I think. Could this be causing the confusion here?
