Why dont you just get it fixed? The 3 l V6 is not renowned for a lack of
torque, nor get up and go. The 3 litre Milano that I had a go in was
standard and was kind of scary fast. Not quite "a real lack of go",
rather a real lack of traction as it was a bit wet that day. However,
once the "track" had dried under the ti/yres the car just smoked the
rear wheels.
It was a kind of "well I WAS going to turn right, but I suppose I could
go left today" experience on the guys private road. Should be well fast
so I suggest you look for the fault, which might be simple, before
throwing cash at bolt-ons.

Er ... Just realised, is this another joke? What does the engine LOOK
like, does it say VOLV.... on it?
