We're currently over-landing through Iraqi Kurdistan having come through Europe and Turkey. We are not planning on bringing the car to Iran as we don't have a Carnet but also because the car is no longer reliable for long journeys to a growing number of engine problems.

My passport was stamped at the Turkish-Iraqi border so there is proof that I entered the country with a car. How much of an issue does this cause for us in terms for fines/border delays/etc at the Iraqi-Iranian border?
