So I ordered a rotor arm (along with a load of other service stuff!) and the one I got is what I'd call a standard rotor arm. However on my van, a 2.0l air cooled CU, it has the rev limiting type arm. Can I just swap them? And if so what difference will it make?
Cheers
Which rotor arm?

Yes you can swap them. Just don't rev the guts out of it. Unlikely you will.
Personally I hated the rev limiter but if you have a habit of driving with a deafening stereo, might be best to run with one. Both operate the same but the limiter will cut power at the limits set - not fun if you have to accelerate hard to get out of trouble.

Brilliant. Cheers. Just one other quick question. The old arm wouldn't just pull off. Should I try and prise it off with a large flat head driver??

Yes, with care. They're certainly not screwed on. Maybe use two screwdrivers - one from each side, but do go gentle.
