Will have to wait until Monday to get it checked out. I do have a Warranty Direct policy so will have to see if I am covered.
It is part of the VOLVO 50000 mile service to change the gearbox oil and filter in this gearbox .. It would also get any software it may need to improve it too . I would assume a volvo specialist would do this .These gearboxes are usualy superb and never heard of one with such low mileage failing . They are still going strong at double this mileage .
