Cheers Rich but I've been pondering this since day 1, would have done an engine conversion at the start had I known how far it would go. I've lost confidence in it and for the money it costs to fix now its a no brainer. Gotta make a few calls to make sure I've got my facts right and check my insurance won't bum me for the swap. Can't have this crap happen in Europe/ on track days/ autobahn etc....

Very common to get faults in many modules especially if the battery has been disconnected.
Most of those faults will be stuff like no power to relays etc.

BWJ engine has been purchased  :grin:  :grin:

Not 100% sure what's happening exactly but chances are this engine is going in ASAP, if not I will sell it on or keep it as it was a bargain.

I hope the new engine closes this engine problem nightmare! It will be able to make more power with all the mods you have! :evilgrin:

Been after a lump for ages to work on over the next year. A project to build an engine up from the bare block. Keep me posted

That would be sacrilege. The Volvo t5 is a peach of an engine
