[s-cars] Cluster Out, and back in.

Thanks listers (even you Mr. Green) for the reassurance that I wasn't going 
to tug the wiring harness out with the cluster.  I haven't bought the 
Bentley yet, although one look at the wear-and-tear on my cq's Bentley would 
tell you that I know my way around the manuals.  I also looked on the 
audifans.com KB but didn't see but one write-up.  I didn't look at 
s-cars.org before asking, so I'll know better next time.  I knew better than 
to think there wouldn't be enough slack to get at it, but when it wouldn't 
budge with some pretty decent force, I thought I'd stop before breaking 
something.  This is also really the first thing I've done on this car aside 
from changing the 02 sensor.  It (the cluster) does come out just like my cq 
(in essence anyway) and once I had it out I was surprised to find NO bulbs 
behind the Autocheck, period.  Somebody had been in there before, as the 
paper seal was broken.  I guess they got lazy and didn't put them back in? 
Who knows.  Anyway, I had 2 2W bulbs, and put them in there.  I honestly 
think it's a little too bright behind the autocheck, so I'm going to move a 
couple of the 1.2W bulbs there, and replace the rest with the 2W bulbs. 
I've got 10 on order from the dealer, to be in Thursday.

Once this is out of the way, it's struts, mounts, tie rods, driveshaft 
u-joint re-lube (hopefully that'll cure my 30 and 50mph vibration) and a
Stromung G4!


Thanks Again!
