Two part question, I saw a 760ti at a friend's dealership today. It had clear lexan covers over the headlights and turn signal marker lights. They were actually good looking, non-obtrusive and seemed like they would do a good job protecting those expensive lenses. I haven't seen these for sale anywhere and he told me they were on the car when he traded for it. Anyone know where these can be found.
2nd part. I found the small hose from the intake nipple to the flame trap "t" clogged on my 740 GL today. Replaced it and want to see how much that did to stop those annoying little oil leaks. But, the one time I took a car wash wand to a Volvo engine, don't remember if it was my 760 or one of the 240's, it really didn't like it! Almost failed to start afterwards and ran rough for almost a day. Haven't done it since and a friend who's been driving Volvos many more years than I have says they don't like being power washed. Is this anyone else's experience?
Thanks for all the help in the past here on the forum

It's usually moisture being drawn into the distributor cap, probably due to the temperature change when the cooler water hits the cap. I degrease and wash my engine about twice a year and never wash it stone cold, the heat helps dry things out and prevents corrosion between the aluminum and steel parts. Cover the dist. cap and you'll most likely be fine. Water can build up around the spark plugs but if your boots are tight they shouldn't ground out.

Bought those headlight covers for my 88-740-GL B200E, from the dealer about 2 years ago, which has saved me shelling out for new ones more than twice, which is evident by the pock marks of flying missiles thats hit them!
Cost me £35 at the time which may sound a bit steep, except when you consider price of new units + fitting & inconvenience that these babies can save you from. ... oh and yes, they still look great.
Just go to parts dept of your nearest OVLOV dealer.

Sorry, but cannot help with engine wash.
My motto ...if it aint broke, don't fix it!
Hope it helps.

Check eBay, as well. I just lost an auction for a pair of these babies yesterday. Eh, well. They're kinda rare, but I've seen them a few times.
