On close inspection mine are indeed the domed Acorn type..

The parts guy at Volvo dealer said they come as a complete unit: as Wgl2020 said (thanks) the inner 17mm and the outer 19mm cover.

Parts guy has offered me some replacements for free but I'm thinking about replacing the whole lot as some of the outer covers are loose anyway.

I'm not convinced torquing the wheels with the outer covers on is the ideal method. My 19mm socket is loose on some of them and bloody tight on others.

And some of those 'covers' are already loose.

Seems to me a better method is to torque the wheels with the actual wheel nut then pop a cover on after which can be easily removed with tweezers.

If thats possible..

Thanks all..
