Can anyone recommend any sites or aftermarket manuals
I found the timing belt on a 2006 XC90 D5 engine very easy once I got the correct tool for locking the crankshaft
Any information would much appreciated

Timing belt should have been done at 87500 miles , check up you might be lucky and it has already been done .
Not difficult there are holes to line up in the crank pulse wheel and the cam drive wheel , use dowel pins ,and the HP Fuel pump has a cut out and hole at about 3 o clock which needs to line up , not for pump timing of course but to even out the heavy pulses in the cam belt , to ensure a pump pulse does not coincide with a valve opening pulse..
Be very careful with the magnetic wheel on the nose of the crank behind the pulley don't touch the rubberised magnetic rim at all , it is quite delicate.
