Even after the starting issue improved, the engine management light stayed on with a P0171 code. Replacing the MAF sensor (Volvo at £250!) was the answer. Now it starts and runs a dream with much improved consumption. Good luck with yours.

thanks for replying, my friend, can u tell me where to buy these things? Because I plan to change it myself, is it very difficult or quite easy?
Thanks a lot. My friend.
