Have spoken to a local garage who have said that its a common fault and you can disable the VVT ( they didn't elaborate how ) and it still drives ok but without the noise - and presumably fixed timing.

I don't know enough to know whether this sounds likely or BS - anyone know ? ( and if it really is the case, how do you do it ! )

cheers
a garage "adjusted mine" when i had issues after a timing belt change. i then found out that they are pretty bullet proof and there was no issue at all with it. i then had to get a volvo dealer to then correct it and get it going right again. i would steer clear of anyone who reckons they can fix it by adjusting it.
