Any and all suggestions very gratefully received!

Sadly can't point you in the direction of any VAG/Volvo specialists/indies down there Phil but why not do it yourself?

It's a long time since i saw one of those engines so i may have this wrong but i've a feeling the timing belt arrangement is very similar to the red block. If you use the "slit it along its length" method, you won't disturb anything in the way of valve timing or IP timing.

Will save you a good few quid and give you the satisfaction of knowing you've done it.

Gives you an idea what i mean, most people use a Stanley knife rather than a disc cutter though!
