Left camp around 07:00 and found the other Hoffer gas station. Lovely big station clean and new with restaurant and nobody there…..

They had the same problem ie. no Australian car registration, so made a phone call. We went and had a coffee while she waited for system admin to add Australia… That didn't happen so she was told to register us under Slovakia and gave us a letter to give police if we were stopped. Very friendly and helpful.
The snow brakes packed up and waiting for next winter's snows

So now we had our gps box with a €50 deposit and €50 credit.

Running late now, we headed up to Trnava. Luckily the webasto Service agents are on this side of the city.
 Amazon distribution centre

Finally found D-service, by the big Webasto sign.

Danial was great. He thought and did all his diagnostics before he plugged in the diagnostic machine. When something didn’t gel I could see him thinking it all through.

Danial measured the amps at the fuses and near the dual top. There was more than 2 volt drop.

Danial worked out that it was internal to the heater so out it came and into parts.

He took the brain out and discovered a dry joint. This he re-soldered a cold joint and put it back together. 
John started trying to clean some of the tape off from around the lockers and the admin lady came out with a can of spray to clean disk brakes. This stuff cleaned gum off real good so John wen to work and removed the tape gum from EC22's arrival in Netherlands. The storage folk had been unable to not put the windows up, so taped some plastic on. That is finally all gone.
He Daniel took the drain cover off and cleaned a bit and put two new seals on it. That has stopped that leak.

Into the vehicle and all good to go. 350 and we were out the same day. 

A short drive to Sulekovo then out over a levy bank and along the track to a nice little spot where the main river Vah and Drahovsky Kanal join again after leaving the lake(nadrz sindava) separately .
