Because this is the Vanagon List :-)

Things that barely relate to the original inquiry tend to gravitate to that
end.  Unlike Geza, I tend to hit the DELETE Key to keep the posts from
cluttering up the thread with teensy fixes to mileage consumption and other
"save the earth" comments unless they're particulary useful.  To each his or
her own, but I'm all for keeping the environment as healthy as possible, but
this does no good towards solving the original problem inquired about.

OTOH, be glad they're a bit "looser" here than say on the Type 2 or
VintageBus List.  They tend to run a tighter ship elsewhere on off-topic
stuff like this (which is why they spun-off from us almost a decade ago).

Now I'm off-topic myself, so I'll shut up about that ;-)

I will vouch for what David Marshall has posted about Scandinavian models
having DRLS (or DTRLS, whatever).  My boss sometime back imported a 90
Tristar from Sweden and it had 'em.  When it got Federalized, it was done
away with by the guy doing the job.
