Hi Jason, and thanks, you could well be right about the timing, it had a new timing belt and injector pump belt fitted 19,000 miles ago at a Volvo main dealer, the guy I bought the car from said he thought it sounded louder after the job was done but didn't bother about it as it was running fine. Only problem is I have no diesel tools, tons of petrol engine tools (left the motor trade just as diesels were getting popular) so unless anyone knows an easy "get round it" method of checking the timing, I'll be forced to entrust it to people I simply dont trust,,, honestly, the standard of workmanship over here is appauling, and the prices are a joke,,, 75 euro per hour,,,ouch!!!) BTW, love your big yellow cat, beautiful piece of work.
