Eberhard:
I was looking into purchasing a motorhome in Germany about two years ago. (I ended up buying in the UK). One problem I kept running into was that it was difficult if not impossible for a foreigner to legally register a car in Germany apart from a temporary permit to export. Do you know if there is any way around this? In an ideal world, I would like to keep a motorhome in Europe so I can pop over periodically and explore the continent.

I concluded that for a person like myself, the best place to register a motorhome was in Ireland because there is no yearly safety inspection so the vehicle does not need to return to its home country once a year to comply with registration requirements. But again, the problem seems to be foreigners registering vehicles there.

By the way, I never got back to you about your kind offer to purchase a water pump for me because I figured out that a water pump for a 115 model 300d will fit my 409d.
