Well done Matt - great to see your name in print.

Shame they can't spell syncro ....

Shame they can't spell syncro ....

Nor can VW - it's spelt like that in the handbook, and the Haynes.......

Hi Matt,

Any chance of a JPEG that I can actually view instead of that BMP thing I can't ?

Andy

Can you not ckick on it to enlarge Andy? Or is it that you can't view at all? We'll change it if it's no good.........

Loads up in ie too small to read, but has the enlarge button in the bottom right corner when you hover the mouse over it, click on that and all is revealed

BMP is a bloated non-standard Windows-specific format. Also, I use a modem and at over 2MB each file will take ~10mins to load. JPEG is the preferred standard and much more efficient.

I have converted the bmp's into jpg's.

Like Mark says you will need to click on the enlarge button to view them properly.

sorry bout the pics andy, but they were scanned at werk, I tryed to save them as j pegs, but it didnt give me an option.......

and they're only 2.2 mb......not "that" big

If you're dialing up on a wet bit of string then 2mb is HUGE, Matt.

If, on the other hand you have a real, proper connection then it's not a problem....

So we're the Volkswagen Synchro club hehe, anyone told VW UK.

And I just love 'contingency' == n. an event that might not occur (legal)

Perhaps they knew about your starting problems Matt

But wait, it gets better

Synonyms: eventuality, possibility, likelihood, exigency, emergency, incident

Ah, here we have it - finally!

contingent (n)

Synonyms: commission, legation, committee, party, group, deputation, delegation

Quite ambassadorial, eh Matt?
