I understand it's the same as the T5 engine (literally) with a cylinder lopped off.

Volvo did use Renault engines in the 300/400 series if I recall correctly. For the V40/S40, then they're Volvo engines (2.0, 1.9T, 2.0T) and Mitsubishi (1.8). The early 1.9TD is also a Renault engine.

With you there, my Laguna (96') has done 255,000 miles but it's on it's second gearbox, and that's a bit noisy !

Agreeing with the fact that the french will knock up a good engine, but the make the gearboxes from a shoe box, spanners & bits off granny's old washing machine.

My dad's old espace was a work horse till the box & torque converter ate one another.

The car had over 130000 on the clock & it worked well & was a good car.

My dad bought another one last year, but missed the features of the Mk2 R plate he lost.
