No personal experience, so can't comment on reliability directly Mick, though there do not appear to be a vast number of D5354 gripes reported here, those that are tend to be of the 'interesting' variety, so I hope you have a good 'un. There is one on the consequences of a snapped belt by Double Trouble, which was on a badly maintained example however. Apparently there are two belts and sometimes one gets missed out. Anyway, if your car was serviced by volvo there should be a sheet with the service items ticked, if it was done elsewhere it would be worth finding out from the garage or the previous owner exactly what was done and when. Your register keeper has posted a 'how to' article in the technical section (tho' I can't seem to be able to access it at the moment) which may come in handy for you.
