Good price. I ordered mine from amazon with prime free shipping for 43 bucks. It's the Stribel brand 103.

Before people buy new fuel relay, you should diagnose if that is the cause!

Jump terminals #15 and #87 on the relay socket, if car runs, then relay is bad.
I posted photo of the pins in forum.

I bought 4 103's off ebay, 1 each in the glove compartment and 2 in the house all the time. Two Volvos, an S70 and a V70. V70 started and ran fine at 0 this morning. Heat's not a furnace but it worked OK. Runs good and strong in the cold.
