I remember snapping the clip back onto the Beetle distributor and it knocked
a chunk out of the side - I've treated them gently since then!
We must see if we can persuade Claire Voyance to come on the group... I
hear she's ace at seeing at a distance. ;-)

Sorry about that, those cracks are pretty hard to see from here.
I broke a few of those myself, many years ago. That was before I learned how
to pop the retaining springs off without damaging the cap. Now I use a
screwdriver under the bowed part of the spring and lever it outward. Using a
screwdriver straight down from the top, between the end of the spring and
the cap tends to break the cap.
Glad to hear that you found your problem.
