Thanks Alex

So just to keep this thread on-track - any dealers/mechanics, Volvo specialists out there in the southeast wanting the work?

Alex - your advice about the brakes is probably right - I don't have the experience, but I will give Classicswede a bell in the morning... Transmission is almost certainly propshaft centre bearing - all springs/shocks and suspension bushes just replaced. Idle speed - loads of new electrical components. No fault codes on ECU - just that the idle speed can vary from about 550/600 up to 1800RPM. Briefly switching the ignition off and on again usu resets the idle speed where it should be at 750RPM. That would suggest idle control valve. I have already tried 1x s/h unit with mixed results, and I am about to try a second one...

Thanks for thoughts tho'
