C70 Engine blown - need advice. C70 1999

Hi Guys,

I need your advice.

I recently had a "low oil pressure" warning light problem and I'm now dealing with a seized engine.

Me options are:
Put in a T5 (all I can get second hand in Ireland), instead of my 2L HPT (question: has anybody experience of this, good or bad?).
Have an engineer rebuild the engine (its estimated ~ EURO 3500-4000, because of the need for Volvo parts).
Get a reconditioned engine from UK and send mine back after I fit mine (swap) (~ EURO 2600 + shipping).
Does Volvo sell reconditioned/new engines? (has anybody had a similar experience?)

Your opinions are much appreciated.

Regards

Simon
