The only Ford engine is the 2.0D. The D5 is a five pot 2.4 and the D4 and D3 are 2.0 litre 5 pots derived from the D5 but smoother and more efficient. Apparently the D3 and D4 are identical except for the software map, but I can't really confirm that.
D5 auto is a 5 speed AW gearbox, the D3 and D4 auto get a 6 speed AW gearbox. Manuals are all 6 speed and not particularly nice to use, 1st and 2nd are really low geared.
Petrols are all Volvo 5 pots - a naturally aspirated 2.4i and the 2.5 low pressure turbocharged T5. Both petrols are increasingly rare the later you go into the model run, particularly the 2.4i; I've only ever seen one facelifted 2.4i car for sale.
Both petrols had the AW 5 speed autobox right up to the end of production, the T5 is a 6 speed manual and the 2.4i was a 5 speed manual.
I found my D5 underpowered as standard - 180bhp to move 1800KG really doesn't cut it IMHO.
