Hi Guys,
New to the site and my first post,

I have a 2005 V70 2.4T5 , It has 138,000 on the clock, it's developed a knocking which a mechanic has suggested it could be the Camshaft albeit he's not absolutely 100%, if I remove the oil filler cap it certainly sounds as though its internal, he suggested as it's now 15 / 16 yrs old to sell it for spares / repair as it could cost me more than I paid for it ( £3000, ) 3yrs ago with 112,000 on it.

I'm more inclined to get the engine re-conditioned, having said that I'm getting a big difference in £££££s and Time spent to do it and there's not much choice.

One quote was £2678.00 +vat / 2 weeks approx

another verbal quote was £1500 / 1 week, but the cost could go up depending on what they found.

I know to some this might be a no brainer, but I love this motor and I think the mileage is too low to just scrap her, she gets used for work ( Gardener Landscaper ) and taxi-ing the long haired general to work

any feedback would be greatly appreciated

Thanks
