-Oil changed with a new oil filter (Basic service at a Volvo Independent Specialist, as it had a full service in 2018 at a Volvo main dealer).
-Coolant changed (Volvo specialist)
-Power Steering fluid replaced (Done myself)
-Transmission fluid flushed & replaced (Volvo specialist)
-Software update for gearbox (Volvo specialist)
-Timing belt replaced (Volvo specialist)
-Auxilliary belt replaced, A/C belt replaced with a new tensioner (Done this weekend with genuine Volvo parts)
-Rear Trailing arm bushes replaced (Volvo specialist)
-Four wheel Hunter alignment (Kwik Fit)
-Four new tyres
-Brake booster/servo replaced (Replaced by a Volvo Specialist, as the original one was hissing & you could hear it inside the car)
-New Volvo wiper blades
-New halogen bulbs for the front lights. I think the bulbs are known as being "Ice white", or something like that. Basically, they look like Xenon's, but they aren't. The light from the original bulbs wasn't very good, so I changed them myself.
- New Yuassa battery purchased from Halfords that come with a five year warranty

Kev, as someone who lives in Manchester as well, would you mind sharing the details of your Volvo independent specialist please? Feel free to DM me if you prefer. I also have a 2007 2.4 D5, and I'm going to need a transmission flush for sure, and I like the idea of the other bit's of work he did to yours too. Cheers, Arnold.
