OK, the mystery is now resolved.

The garage diagnosed a worn OSF wheel bearing and replaced it.

No more noises, fuel consumption is back up where it should be and I am a happy man.

The odd thing is that not only did it not sound like a worn wheel bearing, but it was the same one that was replaced about 3 years ago, so it had only lasted about 35k.

The garage did think it was not a Volvo OEM part, so not sure if the garage that did the work did not use a quality part.

Still, I now have my smooth running, 6 cyl 3.2 cruiser back in tip top condition.

I did speak to the owner at Hortons just outside Thame and he was a big advocate of the ATF change, and they don't seem too expensive. Hence, I think I will pencil it in for late July/early August.

You live and learn
