Big bang, then a bad misfire.

[M-R-P]

the s40 t5 and c30 t5 are 2.5 t5 as they have the same engine the focus st has

I'm not 100% but I dont think it will fit as the engine is smaller than the 2.3/2.4 engine for a me7 head you want a early 2.3 me7 or a 2.4 me7

The giveaway is the location of the oil filler hole

It's a sign mate, you were posting in the £6000 car thread, time to get rid of one Volvo lol. On a serious note, hope it's an easy fix. Do you need the car as a daily?

Yes, it's used as my daily. I'm going to speak to someone about the possibility of helicoiling it, if not, CaseyT5 has a ME7 head.

First of all, sorry to hear about this.

It always seems to be the modified cars that this sort of thing happens to, I've seen it countless times on here where cars that have gone beyond their standard set-up seem to bend a rod, have engine damage or something like this.

I just hope no one pops up and tells to sell it because you're chucking good money after bad with it. Interesting how people will plough thousands in to an engine rebuild..........

Haha, that was hit by a van 2 weeks ago, and could be written off.

Angle grinder then

Project cabbie was domed from the start

[partsforvolvos.com]

if you helicoiled it, would you not have to remove the head anyway due to making sure no swarf goes into the hole during drilling?

Seemed to be.

I guess so, I won't be doing it myself, I've been recommended someone by the indie I use.

[partsforvolvos.com]

I reackon you could get it helicolied and minimal skim(check its flat) for about £140 based on the prices we used to pay the local head specialist.

[M-R-P]

Hmm... cabbie has ME7 head, ME7 inlet manifold and a slim chance of a japanifold...

And angled turbo housing...

Grab yer spanners Steve!
