Went to get new dizzy cap and rotor arm for my espace today.
The one on my 1994 2.0 8v petrol Espace is black and has straight pins on which the ht leads fit.
Euro car parts only list 1 dizzy cap which is red the ht leads will fit at a 90 degree angle intermotor number 46110 although they were selling me a BERU make, mines a Ducellier.
I did not buy the cap or rotor arm as i know they will not fit.
Can any one let me know if there is more than 1 cap fitted to the espace.
Many thanks
The J7R engine has had a number of different distributor caps and H.T. leads, but the official Renault parts list show only caps with 90 degree outputs. Mine for instance has the outlets at 90 degrees and the ends of the leads are straight, but the screws that hold the cap on are smaller and so the later version with larger screws doesn't fit. If you have a cap with straight outputs then I presume it is a non-standard one and your H.T. lead ends have 90 degrees instead? So if you find and fit a cap with 90 degree outputs you will also need to change the leads. However, I did see a cap with straight outputs for sale on eBay recently, so they are available. As long as the cap fits and the leads fit correctly and reach without problems, you can use either, but certainly the official Renault/Ducellier one has 90 degree outputs.
