Hi,<br><br>
Thank you very much, all of you, for your wishes of luck - they reached
Denmark at 0945 local Danish time - when I got a clean "syn" on
my Vanagon - valid for 2 years.<br><br>
Phew - am I happy :-)<br><br>
Now there is a lot more time to fix all those things properly
:-)<br><br>
Happy driVWing<br><br>

Good luck! Is this an annual requirement in Denmark?
Let us know how you do. BTW, is it spring there yet? I think
the last time we heard from you the snow had just begun.<br><br>

<dd>Going monday to the "Synsmand" in order to get a new
sticker for my Vanagon.<br><br>
<dd>I've been busy:<br><br>
<dd>1. Broke the hydraulic pipe to the clutch..<br>
<dd>Used a couple of hours to pull it.<br>
<dd>Had to use pipewrench to get the connectors out - <br>
<dd>so rusty that a brake-pipe-wrench couldnt be used.<br>
<dd>And then it was stuck above the gastank - <br>
<dd>GAAAAAAAAA - had to drop the gastank a few cm to get it out.<br>
<dd>Went to my local garage, had them make me a new copperpipe, remounted
it.<br><br>
<dd>2. Had a friend help me with some rust. were nice job.<br><br>
<dd>3. My exhaust have cracked - just beside the
waterpump/thermostat.<br>
<dd>Since I am nowhere near a CO2-welder, I have <br>
<dd>fixed it with a bearcan (/Heineken/), wirestraps, <br>
<dd>and exhaust-paste. Just hope that it will stick <br>
<dd>til after the "syn" (TÜV, roadworth-test, whatever you call
it).<br><br>
<dd>4. Been sanding the rear wheelarches, and fixing <br>
<dd>them up with fiberglassputty. Good enough for the <br>
<dd>"Syn", but again, need to buy proper spareparts, <br>
<dd>and visit my friend with the CO2.<br><br>
<br>
<dd>5. Are using water - but cant find the leak - not too god.<br><br>
<dd>But please, cross your fingers when I mondag at <br>
<dd>10 (Danish time, GMT -1) drive to the
"Synsmand".....................<br><br>
<dd>Happy driVWing<br><br>
