On a different note -
So she is a twin-cam then? On a car that is SO low miles check the age of the cambelt. It may have been overlooked because the mileage limit has not been reached. And take the balance shaft belt off anyway - and make sure that you have a steel oil pump pulley and a nice new correct Volvo bolt in it! Oh, and check the cambelt tensioner too. If anything happens to the cambelt it is bye-bye engine. And check the jubilee clips on the water hoses and preferably replace them - if a hose comes off on the motorway it is also very bad news. That's what my daughter did to mine - failed to see the change on the temperature gauge and THEN tried to get to the next motorway service station. Irretrievably cooked engine!
