TUV RHD AE86 Germany (help please)

[Nakilad]

Hi Johann,

Kia Ora, kiwi here as well, based up near Köln.

Can't really help too much (my car was 'imported' from the Netherlands), except to say that up here (NRW) it's only TüV Rheinland who are allowed to do the '21' test to get your can registered in Germany. They are quite strict (at least around my area), If you don't have an ABE or Gutachen they won't let it through, they are also extremly vague when it comes to estimating how much it will cost to get something approved. In the end i tracked down some original springs, just so I could get on the road.

I believe the Dekra and a few other companies are allowed to do the test in other parts of Germany, so hopefully you can find someone from one of them, who can give you some advice in english.
