First of all an update on the 4 burned out glow plugs on my Caddy.  Two 
days after I replaced all of the plugs my son lets me know that he can 
hear the relay clicking on and off repeatedly.  Ah the culprit reveals 
itself.  So we replaced the glow plug relay and now all is right with 
the world.

On another glow plug line, somehow when I removed the electrical guts 
from my donor truck, I managed to NOT get the glow plug relay socket.  
Any of you wonderful, smarter than normal and better looking than most 
people have a heap that you use for parts that you can give up the glow 
plug relay socket and wiring, just to the glow plug fuse would be nice. 
  Let me know and what you want for it.  That way I can begin the 
conversion of the Scirocco.  thanks, Hayden
