Well, yesterday a £4 seal cost me 7 litres of fully synthetic oil, and a trip to Leicestershire on an AA lorry.
Luckily the car blew the line off the oil cooler, and I turned it off straight away so no harm done.
Time to update it slightly- a fellow Volvo owner wants to return his car to stock, so has suggested swapping his newer parts onto my car (for a fee of course) and my standard parts onto his, before he sells his.
Key parts here are the turbine/downpipe/exhaust. Turbine has a larger compressor wheel, downpipe has a 100 Cell race cat and goes to 3" all the way, and the exhaust goes to a pair of straight through silencers that are very free-flowing.
Combined with the headwork it should be interesting to see the results.
He has suggested that we swap rad/rad/'cooler packs also, but that's up in the air.
Shems car made 340 on the dyno with this setup minus the headwork that mine has.
