German emissions permit

[Stuart]

I know this has been covered at length but I am unable to find it on a search.

Can some knowledgeable souls tell me if this is a one-off expense or an annual event please.

 

TIA

I assume you mean the Umwelt Plakette. This link might help http://www.umwelt-plakette.de/int_england.php. Its quite expensive to do it the offical way. I have heard of people contacting a local office and putting the cash in the envelope and getting one that way. Unfortunately I went the expensive route!

Stuart,

As far as I am aware it's a one off expense.

I sent a 5 euro note along with photocopies of necessary documents and it took 10 days in all.

Searching the Motorhome Matters forum using "umwelt" (omitting the quotes) in the Keywords box and selecting "All posts" as the Date Limit will retrieve a fair amount of earlier stuff on this subject.

 

The link helpfully provided by Klyne is slightly wrong due to the sentence's final full-stop having crept in. This one's OK:

Derek,

 

It seems the forum search engine has conked out again - for me anway, so one can try my favourite search method from Google only, copy, paste and enter the following string ;-

 

umwelt site:http://www.outandaboutlive.co.uk

 

I had three returns on this fishing trip.

 

Regards Terry :-D

Thanks to all !!

Terry:

 

This forum's Search facility seems to be 'load sensitive'. If you use it at some unearthly hour when there's likely to be minimal activity on the Warners system, then there's a sporting chance that broad-based 'All Posts' searches will work.

 

It's also possible to long-distance search successfully if one has an intimate knowledge of forum members' pet-interests. For example, I'm aware that Don Madge likes the umwelt subject, so searching for umwelt-related threads to which Don has contributed currently retrieves 3 previous entries.

 

While GOOGLE's Advanced Search capability is handy for website searching (eg. for looking at the MHF site if one is a non-subscriber), it's an unwieldy beast if you're not used to it.

 

It's sad that members of this forum should be reduced to having to exploit a 3rd-party's search engine because the forum's own search capability is so hit-and-miss these days.
