Thanks to all very much for your revelations, sympathies and kind
suggestions as to what to do next.  Mark, can we surmise that mice with
suicide ideations have heard that the Vanagon is the ultimate death trap?
:-)  Darrel, I'm sure that the other list members are shocked at our having
spoken, although by using the written word rather than the spoken one we
have technically kept our reputation intact for being mum on any and all
subjects.  :-)  Chuck, thank you too for the sage advice.  I had never
noticed the openings at the ends of the intake openingnor around the battery
cable.  I will definitely check them out and plug them poste haste.  Also,
thanks very much to Jim Arnott for privately e-mailing the step by step
instructions of how to remove the dash to get at the heater and ducting
system.  Much appreciated!  Exactly what I needed.  BTW, do the later
versions of Bentley have specifics to the waterboxer heater?

Cheers,
Daryl
