Get a ruler and measure the width and length of the threaded part or just remove one when you get to the shop and compare.

Firstly, have you checked the resistance of each plug, because it might be the relay ? It should be about 1 ohm, but if the plug is kaput it will be several thousand.

You could ask Rufe the FRF Swansea Volvo dealer for a quote, although genuine Volvo ones are not cheap. There is a forum discount code (C3 I think).

Skandix do sell an aftermarket one for about 14 quid each AND if you send them a message they will quote for other makes like Bosch.

Lots of cheap ones listed on Fleabay, although I'm not sure if the Europarts ones would be correct, although they are also listed for the Renault 1.9TD:
