Ah it wasn't too bad, I had wanted to see 200K but that's out the window now. Replacement for now is a diesel Yaris practicalities and all that....

I'm not sure if I'll have another flirtation with Volvo, I might see how this 65mpg thing stacks up and then build a Dax rush or something equally silly.

I'm suffering badly, loosing about 200BHP and an equal number of torques has that effect

Yes, it's already been christened the Clown Car - it's growing on me though, I'll post something general discussion board.

Hot Rods need to be old skool, the one in my sig isn't a bad attempt by Volvo. Hot Road Jakob it was named IIRC

I'm actually semi tempted to drop the engine out of the T5, It'd be ideal for a rebuild later and a silly project car.

I went from a diesel Yaris to my 850 T5, Yaris a great car in so many ways esp the 70MPG average! but the lure of the roar-T5 was too much.......you will be back!!!!

Are you interested in selling the engine? I would be after top and bottom but no ancillaries...

//edit
Actually, I might scratch that. Just noticed the location!
