Somebody else will lol.
End of the road for me and Volvo I think. Anything I touch goes wrong though... Thinking back, the most reliable brand I've owned (no joke) was Vauxhall and for my dad it's been Peugeot. No others have compared: Honda, BMW (3 times), VW, Volvo...
...but as you say a lot is down to bad luck.
Sorry, nothing Swedish here...

Graeme - just noticed you're running a decat now. How is this holding up with EML or limp mode? Any funny behaviour?
UPDATE:
GRN have finally fixed the car. It is believed to have been one of the boost sensors in the intake pipe between TB and IC. In addition, a brand new lambda sensor (pre-cat) was fitted which has now cured all problems.
SO, to summarise, it would seem that the car had three problems all along: boost, lambda and throttle I don't think any one of us would have anticipated this much going wrong all at once.
Thank you to everyone who has had an input into this thread, I hope we all remember this for future reference when somebody elses car shows same symptoms.
Many thanks
Ed

Happy days Ed. Now you can enjoy your car!! Glad you are all sorted.
Hows James getting on BTW?
I really do hope this very long thread is now at a close.
And even better the car is now running the way it should ,great new after all.
Glad your car is fixed. I'm gonna go 200 cell not decat.

I really hope the problems are over and IF it is driving as it was when I first bought it, I know it will put a smile on my face
As for downpipe, I don't really see the point changing unless you go for full flow. I have a 3 inch decat made by Graeme although not yet fitted.
Chad from GRN seems to think the ECU doesn't like a decat, which is a fair point.
I know lads with Focus ST's though and they run 3" Piper systems from turbo back with no cat what so ever and they never have faults. This is the Volvo derived 2.5 turbo.
Sorry, nothing Swedish here...
just the increase in bore makes a huge difference. ive ran the 3" down pipe with 100 cell cat and i noticed a difference as soon as i fitted it. youll gain moe bhp with a decat but then youve got the chalange of the ecu not liking it and having to change it come mot time.
