Importing Vehicle Procedure before 12mths is up

Nooooo, Just UK clean. I'll let them do it at the garage

that was one of the larger bills we had, took the garage all day, but it did come back spotless and like new, not bad for a 8yr old british car lol

Well, tomorrow is the day when I find out what my Jeep will need to pass the Inspection Test at the Strassenverkehrsamt.

Will I keep it or not I'll soon know.

Well I have had a call from the garage and.... Emissions are fine

Brakes a bit soft and thats it. They will see if they can adjust the lights but I still think I will need new ones.

Next is a trip to Lucerne for the Customs form

Got the Jeep back today woth everything in order, I now have the emission test pass in hand.

All parts have been cleand to Swiss standards and I'm ready for the Strasser thingy inspection test.

Have just returned from the Zollamt in Luzerne. If you go there it is at Luzernerstrasse 88, 6014 Littau. Pull into the Co-op car park then look for the stairwell on the corner, the office is on the 1st floor above the Co-op.

Got the 18-20 form which cost 20chf.

Now I have to book the vehicle inspection at the Strassenverkehrsamt.

Do I need Swiss Insurance in place before I have the test or once the car passes? If it fails and say it will cost too much, I don't want the insurance in place. It is UK insured at present.

In Obwalden/Nidwalden you need to have the insurance prepared for it. We got a little slip of paper from our insurance company to take with us to the inspection. I'm sure that you could get your Swiss insurance contingent upon the successful inspection. Talk to your insurance person though.

edit: check the website of your local Strassenverkehrsamt for the list of items required. Even our backwards Kanton has everything listed on their website.

We had to make sure we had insurance in place for when the car passed the test, the insurance give you a sort of cover note, but they don't charge you until the car is actually swiss registered. Our car ended up having a cover note from the insurance for nearly 2 months due to the waiting time for the test.

Just having a look at Zurich Connect web site and it asks for "Type certificate*) *) Position 24 on vehicle certificate (Insert without any spaces)

Help?

After speaking to a helpful chap at the Zug Strassenverkehrsamt, it transpires that I don't need Insurance before the inspection only before I get the new plates. Nice.

So, the only thing I am lacking is info from a main UK Jeep Dealer. Can't remember what its called but has all the weights, max speed etc.

certificate of conformity?

How much you spend, approx will do..

Think i will ask BMW about my M3.. gulp. lol

Thats the thing

So far,

18.20 form 20chf

Clean, work on brakes, Emission test etc 700chf'ish

That cost us £150

(the certificate of conformity that is)

Yeah, he said approx 2- 2.50chf. Gotta be done

Cost so far now is:

18.20 cert 20chf

Cleaning, Emission test, small work on rear brakes. 856chf

So running total of 876chf.

Still waiting for the Cert of Conformity to come back.

Are you sure you didn't get this with the car? Ours was a green card, about 8cms x 10cms big, and was in with the service booklet when we collected the car.

how about the headlights? did you have to replace them?

Nope. Apparently they are fine as they are. Will find out at the Inspection if that is true. They are cheap to replace anyway.
