You may think you know everything about Volvos, just because you've had so many, but all you know is how to break them. I heard it, it was not a follower, and if you're so sure it was a follower, why did you change the engine?

because i found and bought a forged engine, the noise of that engine went after a good thrash, not after 100 miles or 1000 miles but instantly, i have no reason to lie whether it was rods or not what difference would that make to me? so you dont think an engine thats been sat for 4 years couldnt develop a sticky follower? yeah i know nothing about these cars? ive done just about everything there is to do on a t5/r but i know nothing

The Volvo expert who doesn't even know the size of the turbo inlet, sounds like you've got other people to do just about everything there is to do to you t5/r. There are people that have done far more to their cars, Oblark, Claymore, Wobbly Dave to name but 3, but are no where near as condescending as you. Maybe you should take other peoples opinions on board, rather than spouting the same old boring, "I know everything about Volvos" crap.

What one learns one might forget

But

What one has understood one never forgets!

I think in reality you should learn how to drive and treat an engine!

Dunno what you're jumping in for, what I meant was i've just about replaced every part there is to replace. I wasn't talking about modifying.
