Depends on the voltage across the fuse. For fuses rated below 9 amps, the two types are almost identical (MDL has slightly lower AC Interrupting amperages), and both are rated for use up to 250V. For fuses rated above 9 amps, the MDL fuses are rated for use up to 32V, while the MDA fuses are rated for use up to 250V. More info on Cooper Bussmann (link below).

If your lock is a resettable kind, all you have to do is make a password that you can remember and save it. If you have a lock that cannot be resettable, look in your locks packet to find the combination or look at the back of your lock to see if it's been stuck there.

Can you use new glass fuses for your super beetle?
I wouldn't recommend it. Aircooled VW fuses are pointy ended, and the fusebox on an aircooled VW is designed with them in mind. Technically, you COULD replace the fusebox and use glass fuses, but if I was going to all that trouble I'd change to either the modern plastic fuses or to circuit breakers.
