Hi Everyone
Now I have been banging on about this for a while !
I have a 1998 V70 R AWD.It was a great car until the tensioner failed and threw the belt.
Got new belt , engine runs, a bit nosier , runs great , then runs very badly !
Think its a damaged lifter, as a bent valve would not keep changing the way it runs all the time.
Right, got an old 850 T5 that runs like a peach , as my everyday runaround !
Do I fix the R or swap the older 850 engine into it! (How much ££)?
The R wont die.If it did'nt run at all, I would start to swap the R bits over to the T5.
The R is in good condition besides the engine , but I think it is repairable !
Where can I get an inspection quote , repair , advice !
Got to sort it before I run out of time and money.
Thanks Everyone in advance for your help.
Cheers Karl

I would like to say a massive thankyou to T5Lover who has done an outstanding job on My V70 R AWD
He came all the way down to mine and worked flat out for some hours in the rain and cold.
The car ticks over like a dream , even better than when I bought her !
Got to fix my rear stuck caliper first before i drive it !
This guy is recomended by me as his work is **it hot and to top it all , is a diamond geezer !
My wife and I are very greatful.
I would like to drop him a line if i am down his way anytime.
Justin Thanks mate !
This bunny is a happy bunny !
