newish to T5's - sub frame probs

Hi all

I have recently joined the T5 world with a late 1994 850 T5 saloon, standard car. I have had the car for 6 months or so and have to say that it is a great car. In terms of performance for money ratio I would say it would be hard to beat.
That said I have had a few problems with the car that have turned out to be very expensive.. I bought the car from an independant "quick/sports car dealer" in the east midlands (loughborough). It was a 2 owner car with 49k on the clock, full Volvo service history, HPI checked, very clean and drove very well (except for some clutch judder in first).
After parting with the readies I covered some 10000 trouble free miles. At the 60000 Volvo servive I was horrified to see that the mechanic had written "sub frame badly damaged" engine out of line, worn engine mount bushes etc etc, it was one of those sinking feelings that you get now and again when you know there is going to be trouble ahead.

After a lot of phoning around, including the garage where it came from, who would not lend a hand as the car was techically working ok to them (but had obviously been sold with the fault) I decided to have the repairs carried out. The cost to replace the sub frame and clutch £1000 - gulp.

It drives like a totally different car now but still has an oil leak that I cannot find, back in the garage I suppose .

I am thinking of performance tuning the car also. I have contacted TME in Scunthorpe and for £1800 can have the suspension upgrade and ECU reprogramming and exhaust package. Supposedly this will give an extra 40 -45 extra BHP. To me this seems like a small increase in power for the cost, has anyone here had this enhancement and if so was it worth it?

Many thanks if you have not fallen asleep reading all this....
