My buddy Greg does a lot of baking (and now is learning ice cream) and
uses raw milk mostly, I think he said there is a dairy on Wadmalaw that
produces and sells it. He gets it at the Stono Market on Johns Island.

Raw milk is legal in New Hampshire, there are several places we can get it. I
haven't dared to try it yet but we do often get non-homogenized milk from the
same dairy. Its pasteurized but you need to remember to share it before

Or cut through it with a dremel type tool.

I would suggest the use of a pair of dyke cutters to clip the edges of the
grill, rather than pliers.
If you have some with long handles so you have better leverage, even
better. You should be able to go around the entire grill edge rather
quickly and remove it cleanly.

I need to correct that. On the later 124 cars, what I said is correct, but
on the 1st generation, it _just_ may be possible to remove the chrome

If Uro made it, at least we'd have the ability to fix it and sell the car before
it failed again.

That's what I was afraid of. I may put a light on the connection, see if the
PBU is calling for heat when I've dialed in AC, make sure the issue really is
the valve.
Looks like a rebuilt PBU is about $150, that's less than a new valve from the
dealer.

Are you talking about the entire valve assembly? I don't think an insert is
