Tune Up Kit V70-XC70

I see tune up kits for the V70 at auction on ebay regularly. They feature spark plug wires, plugs, and a rotor cap and rotor. Darned if I can find a rotor under the hood of my V70 2000. I have looked everywhere. And how long do the wires last? I change my plugs every 30K. Recommendations?

Thanks to All

    Andy is quite correct. Actually coil packs (mini-ignition coils) are a good thing. It started from 1999 on--
    2brix, now if the ECU stays healthy----

    There's no distributor, thus no rotor or distributor cap. There is an individual 'coil pack' on each spark plug and the electronic ignition signals that coil pack to fire the plug. Lots less parts, its a good thing.

    Its a personal preference thing, but replacing spark wires is generally done either when they fail (setting a diagnostic trouble code for misfire) or by age. Under hood heat is what degrades them in over time, so I generally replace them after 5 - 7 years or so.
