[928uk] Pedant

[Richard Armstrong]

Yes I was reffering to Jonathan's suggestion - that has wires. This is a 
conventional bulb, push in and twist. the difference between it and 90% 
of these types is that it is 5mm dia and not 7mm dia.
i have some on order but I should have looked in the PET - just thoought 
is was so isignificant!
