MY XC70 (2004) just failed its MOT on a leaking Nivomat. Its possible to convert to conventional dampers by changing both spring and dampers to match the cars that originally did not have self-levellers fitted. There are conversion kits on ebay. Its not an easy job as the damper/spring unit has to come off as one unit before the spring can be released by spring compressors (the lower spring mount is on the bottom of the damper rod).
