Morning Dave,

Thanks again for your fulsome reply. I do want to correct what I said to what I meant to say and that is that I bought the cylinder head from Chapman's and then i took it to Mid-Island Machine in Duncan. They reconditioned the head and then it was taken to AARAS automotive in Ladysmith for installation.

Spook replied with the following:

"Hope you're well and stay so. Did anyone check the Idle Air Control Valve to ascertain whether or not it worked at all, and - if it did work - whether it had been cleaned?

Further has the fuel supply - from in-tank pump to pressure regulator - been checked? Has the fuel filter been changed?"

I have added his commentary to yours to take to Klaus Automotive in Qualicum Beach when I am ready to get the 940 repaired.

Thanks again for your valuable input.

p.s. I am taking the 240 to a trusted local mechanic to get the brakes fully functional. Emergency not working and sometimes at very low speeds the brakes fail. Neither Volvo operational at the momennt. What is to become of me! I am relying on a Jaguar for transportation!
