This made me think of something - Has anyone ever thought of or begun 
compiling a list of replacement parts that are *NOT* available for 
the D? First I read about torsion bars being practically unavailable, 
now headlight switches. It might be beneficial to maintain some kind 
of list so that we may try to take extra special care of those 
components in our cars that are still working. Not to mention drawing 
attention to those parts that perhaps alternatives could be found or 
engineered.
