I've just followed Martin's excellent guide to do a drop and fill on my 09 V70 D5. Really easy to follow and not that hard to do.

My fluid came out a deep purplish colour so I think it was due. I did have it done by a Volvo Independent specialist back in March 2013 when the car was on 92,000 miles. My only concern is that I've put 3L in but seem to have only collected 2.5L. There was a little bit of spillage but I don't think it could account for 0.5L. The question is, have I overfilled it or has the Indy underfilled it?

I'm planning on going for a drive this evening before repeating the process tomorrow so I will see what happens then. Whether the volumes match after I've done another change!
