I've been meaning to write a follow-up, thanks for the prompt!

The replaced pin (key or whatever it's called) was loose so some remedial work needed to fix that. It turned out that there were some damaged valve stems so the head went back to the engineer who promised to replace at minimal cost. Car eventually back on the road after nearly five weeks, the delay caused mainly by the garage being very busy. I had a loan car for most of the time but it was a great relief to hear the distant hum of the Volvo engine again and it's running beautifully so I hope no more serious problems to come.

It turned out that the battery had come to the end of its life, so yet another expense! It was still under guarantee by a couple of months so hoping to recoup some of the cost - it had been bought and fitted in January 2021 by a relative so not sure what sort of response I'll get from the supplier.

Thanks to everyone who went to the trouble of replying to my original post.

Glad it's fixed and back on the road.
