Well the d5 is dead... Driving to work and as I came to a stop at traffic lights I heard some almightly clanking and snapping plastic sounding noises.
Opened the boner and the auxiliary belt which had not long been replaced has snapped, wrapped itself around the crank and taken out the cambelt and tensioners.
No pictures of yet but peed off to say the least, I cannot fathom the failure, all aux tensioners, idlers and aux components are free and working fine, nothing seized. What caused the failure is anyone's guess.
No particular pictures of yet as I abandoned her at the roadside in layby and will collect it tomorrow with a trailer. Needless to say I now need a new engine...

So sorry to read this and I was very interested in buying the car tbh.

Awww bugger, sorry to hear of the problem
The Flying Moose (Tuesday 27th October 2015)
No way. This was shaping up to be one nice p2.
Hope you get a decent engine & sort it soon.
Just as the p1 sells!

As said eairler that's ££££ news were hoping to do a usual suspects clutch repair and lpg install in a couple of Sundays so emlyn can use the t5 as a daily to out him on while this is getting fixed

Ah, crap!
Sorry to hear this, Fella.
Hope you manage to get it sorted, one way or another.
You had yourself a cracking daily there, for not much outlay at all.
As for reasons why it happened, is the tensioner still taught? Ie, is the spring still strong?
Also, what's the crank pulley like? If the vibration damper is shot inside, it makes them wobble so could have thrown the belt off the first pulley?
All a bit trivial I know

Thanks all, fortunately works lent me a car to come home in tonight.
As for repair, seems a no brainer, its far too good to break but it's going to take time to find a reasonable prices reasonable miles engine to replace it and most seem around 500-1000 quid for just the lump. Problem is of course when you start taking this all apart it's silly not to inspect seals etc and renew and while its off a clutch is a no brainer and inspection of flywheel may see Bill as high as 1500 quid. I'll ponder options for a while but despite high miles (215k) it's otherwise in good nick.
As for what's caused the failure, time will tell... once I get time I'll arrange a trailer and tow her home with the t5-r.
As Pete's mentioned t5-r is also not in best health at the minute as she needs a clutch but hopefully with the big mans help we can get that done... Sods law I was going to park it up for the winter so put a clutch in the t5-r and an lpg kit is way cheaper than repairing the d5 so guess it'll be that parked up over the winter instead.
Thanks guys.

Recovered her this evening, with the T5-R and a lovely Brian James tilt trailer. I was amazed how well the T5-R towed it considering trailer and D5 combined I'm sure weighed about half a ton more than the T5-R.
Ironic really that the most reliable Volvo is the oldest... that said baring the engine isn't this one a ford? Who knows all I know is older brother dragged her home.
First thing is to SORN and during my time off next week ill begin to tear it all apart and try see if anything in the engine is salvageable. I've spoken to my mate at the local Volvo scrappy and he has said I can have a used set of belts and tensioners to play with. Then put it all together again and see what happens, If I'm really lucky the engine will be ok, if not new engine

Finally managed to spare some time today to take the car apart.
Wheel arch liner out cambelt cover, many struggles, swearing and bloodied arms and the old belts are off...
On inspection its definately the aux belt thats failed, I still cant see why however, wrapped round and jammed cambelt shearing the cambelt tensioner off the car, sadly looks terminal. The metal taped hole where the tensioner mounts has snapped in half! Unless anyone has VIDA and can confirm this does come off ( I cant see how) then sadly I cant put a belt on and re-time to see if its ok. Looking how tensely locked the belt was its entirely possible it effectively locked the engine however I suspect the slackened cambelt probably did cause some damage.

The tensioner mount is part of the block I'm afraid mate.

Did it sound catastrophic? Wow I reckon it must of done some damage locking like that.
Bad news mate. Hope you find a replacement engine.
