RE: Heating system light? My $0.02

["Cox, Wiley" <Wiley.Cox@glenayre.com>]

	From what I'm hearing, there seems to be two types; one with a
removable bulb (mine) and ones without (the rest of you who aren't like
me).  I was surprised to hear you all complaining so much when I went to
the parts yard, found a Scirocco with a heating control system left
intact, and popped the bulb out. :)

P.S.: Ooh, forgot.  Anyone want a locking gas cap with key?  $5 plus
shipping!
