They were NOT replaced under warranty here in Oz. After the 3d one blew, I demanded that the Saab dealer check the electrics thoroughly, which they did, and they reported that they found nothing wrong, but I haven't had another one blow in over 3 years since the last one blew. Go figure. -- Peter Wilkins 2/24 Cove Avenue, MANLY, NSW, 2095, AUSTRALIA Email: wilkinspnopsamail.com.au Phone/Fax: +61 2 9977 2395 Mobile: +61 0400 525 273
