When I look for parts its a 1996 2.3ti 135bhp.
I also liked the B230E engine in my 240GLT. Both great with the AW70 auto gearbox.

That's what i thought James, i've heard they list it as a 2.3ti, i still don't get why Volvo only gave the LPT 135bhp, makes the turbo seem a bit pointless really against the B230E and its 133bhp +/-2bhp depending on your reference source.
I know when Vauxhall did the Astra TD (mid 90s so Mk3 Astra) the n/asp 1.7D was ~54bhp, the LPT was ~70bhp and the HPT was ~90bhp so if Volvo had followed the same pattern, the B230F was 116bhp so i would think a better arrangement would have been 145-150bhp for the B230FK and 170-180bhp for the B230FT and would have been more in-line with what other manufacturers were doing.
