Predictably, this is becoming an even bigger headache! Approaching this from a fluid test and replacement perspective, I've had the following results:
Independent #1: Visual inspection of the fluid =£50. ATF flush and replacement, inc. filter = £250/£300. Need the car for 48 hrs (to allow fluids to cool/get up to temp accordingly).
Independent #2: No visual inspection service offered; Power Flush and replacement of ATF and filter £325. Takes an hour and a half.
Main Dealer #1: Unable to test ATF beforehand; ATF replacement inc. filter = £330 + VAT. It takes an hour and is a drive in/drive out service. However, Volvo say this shouldn't be necessary as the 'box is sealed.
Main dealer #2: £395 inc.VAT. The Master Tech. confirmed Volvo states the service interval @ 54k miles.
Good luck with me trying to identify the correct ATF to be used and what is actually put in the car!!

I've found this online but nowhere does it list a V70D2 - can you confirm the model please?

It seems there are two ATFs useed, one is BOT34 spec, the other is AW1 spec which equates to :

I did find this for the BOT341 ATF as well :

Ridiculously expensive!
As for those main dealer services, any that say "flush" - don't do it! If your ATF is as bad as i suspect, the new, thicker fluid could blow the seals easily!
