Hi
Thanks for taking the time to respond and the suggestions therein. I think my luck on the day ran out and got a "jobsworth" who was out to set an example. Especially when his colleagues where raising there eyes at how I was being treated. Strange that I had got through Romania, Hungary with no trouble just show passport and V5C and as long has you had paid the road tax for these countries it was fine.
The other alternative I have is registering the car in Romania and subjecting it to testing laws in Romania.
But I have some options now.
Many thanks
Trevor
