As a general thing, Volvos don't usually suffer from damp unless something is wrong somewhere. When warm the idle speed should be about 700rpm, when cold between about 1000-1500rpm, the colder it is, the higher the revs will be until it warms up.
I'd hang fire on the sensor until you get the garage to investigate the dizzy cap and rotor arm, something is being effected by damp from what you've said, the sensor responds to temperature change within the engine.

Hi thanks for the advice, car is now booked in with garage, only they only deal with it mechanically not electrics, so the knocking will be sorted on the left wheel, but George Reid does the electrics, but hes busy so just need to source a distributor and order the temp sensor at same time.
Hubby has checked later today if there is leakage from the t-junction at water jets, nothing leaking so must be the distributor as the orange cap reveals a crack of some sort he said.
