Just out of interest i was surprised that the 740 /940's have the second most dearest distributor cap below the 760's V6 model. (£50?)

If these are as good as they look then its a bargain...I'm tempted myself

I haven't changed my dizzy cap for the 2+ years I've driven it daily - and it looked ooooolllld when I bought it... and oil leaks into it from the camshaft. Suprised it still drives to be honest.

The price of £30+ always put me off! Last month I managed to pick up a S/H (but never actually fitted to car) Bosch dizzy cap on Ebay for £7! BARGAIN!!

I got a dizzy cap and rotor arm in a local Motor factors for £15.

They do have friendly staff though, and it wasnt likely anyone else was going to buy it in the near future lol It had been sitting for years.

Parts for Volvos lists them at £21 + £10 for rotor arm
