Narrows things down somewhat, anyway, providing you'd be happy to invest further in what seems to be flawed tech. Did they quote a cost for the rebuild, out of interest?

That's the key, really. The tech does seem flawed so spending significant money on it seems non-sensical.
That said, there's probably a good argument to say would whatever I buy next be better (in terms of relibility/robustness)? Whilst IMO the build quality of my '96 850, then my '05 XC70 were significantly better than my current V70, there are plenty of considerations with AWD drivetrians, for example. I'd be delighted if I bought an XC70 only to find some "module" needed replacing at huge expense!
We didn't really discuss rebuild costs (on the basis it'd be a different firm undertaking the work).
