PEH:

Does a hole in the end count as bad? Hehe -- this was on the Volvo, Champion GPs, bad mistake, they burned out pretty quick. Bad relay that stayed on all the time didn't help, I'm sure.

I currently have 220,000 miles on my 740 TD, but I've been told they usually run 300,000 or so before the compression goes. Subject to aluminum head problems (and I'm afraid mine is gone, won't start at the moment, quit this winter at 4F).
